What HS consistently produces the best talent. I have lived in Ohio for a few years now so I'm not up to date with Louisiana high school sports.

I won't give a single school, but our two biggest recruiting grounds are up and down the river parishes from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, and in northeast louisiana (monroe/bastrop areas).

Acadiana is probably #3. It happens to have a really good class this year.

Year in and year out I have to go with St. Aug. They had something like 11 kids sign D1 last year, and from what I hear that trend will continue.

West Monroe, Evangel, Curtis, and Acadiana are a few that come to mind as far as always having a handful of D1 recruits every year.

North and south LA are where it's at. Typically u get your huge o and dlineman from the north and your athletes from the south. Although south LA has been pumping out some good olinemen lately. Either way ya go, u will find top notch talent

For a small number of schools in a specific area, I don't think any area produces as many prospects as the river parishes. Hahnville, Destrehan, ESJ, WSJ, Lutcher and St James pump out a lot of quality.

Some individual schools that put out a lot of guys (not only to LSU) would be:
OP Walker
Karr
Curtis
West Monroe
Breaux Bridge
Evangel
and a few others as well.

Both attended Aug, but Chad was forced to relocate after Katrina and finished at Southern Lab...

St. Aug is one of, if not the top producer of high school talent historically in the nation. They've just gone out of state before Wilson. As far as D1 talent in LA, the most consistent contributors are:

St. Aug
West Monroe
Evangel

Dutchtown is really starting to come up in the recruiting world. As someone said earlier, the River Parishes produce a ton of talent as well. West Monroe has atleast 1 four star it seems every class. Most of the time they have more than that, but atleast 1 every year. Evangel produces a ridiculously high amount of D1 athletes for a school with 400 kids K-12. Then again, it's a private school who recruits.

Those are all legit candidates.
It seems Patterson also puts out some great skill position players
