Why does Lafayette not produce more talent?

Why is my D bigger than all of my friends? Some questions are better left unanswered.

Yep. Lafayette is over 70% white while Shreveport is over 50% African-American and Monroe over 60% African-American. The end.

Closer to 80%.

West Monroe is 82% white though and pumps out talent.

That's bc West Monroe recruits more than most colleges

Chark?

Relax.
Lafayette compensates by outperforming the entire state in other qualities.
It's little brother image creates outsized expressions of penis envy, self doubt and self exaggeration. ( see, for example, the Claim that Laffy is as big as Shreveport).

Well have you seen the athletic facilities at the public schools in lafayette? Way behind the rest of the state. Waaay behind. Its an embarrassment. You could say that they lack these facilities to make the academic side of the schools better, but you can't say that either. The roads suck. As a matter of fact, this makes me wonder where exactly my taxes are going. But that's an entirely different issue all together. Often times when Lafayette does get a big time recruit though he goes to LSU. I can't remember the last time LSU wanted a kid from here and he went elsewhere. Can't say that about most places, even Baton Rouge.

Lafayette is not the same size as Shreveport.

Pretty comparable actually. Shreveport the city may be bigger than the city of Lafayette but the Lafayette Metro Area is bigger than the Shrevport-Bossier Metro Area.

Blacks. North Louisiana has a much larger black contingent compared to Lafayette.
