i disagree that it should be worn by someone exclusively from Louisiana, all these kids from all over have bought into our program our state and our community, they're all adopted Louisiananimals so that's a dumb rule imo but happy for Will
They can get #18

For a program that has tried so hard for years to build a national brand, how does tying 7 to Louisiana roots make sense?
There’s been a lot of talk in recent years on locking down the state of Louisiana. It’s important to be able to recruit nationally but it’s just as important to be able to keep the top Louisiana players here. We have a built-in advantage between the amount of talent LA produces and the lack of a competitive in-state rival. Additionally, recruiting LA players is less travel-intensive so pulling the bulk of the class from LA frees up more time for the staff to focus their efforts on specific key players nationally.
There’s also the NIL factor now, which can create unique opportunities for local players (think home town businesses signing an NIL deal with a guy who stays in the state).
I think a lot of folks believe the pendulum swung too far toward national recruiting under Les, and that we wasted too much recruiting capital going after national guys who signed elsewhere while letting top LA talent get poached.
Ironically, I think Les generally did a pretty good job of keeping top players at home in his later years (5-for-5 notwithstanding) while Orgeron, who talked about putting a fence around LA, actually lost a lot of LA talent to rival programs. From 2017-2021 we saw 24 top-10 LA players (almost 50%) go elsewhere.
Regardless it’s clearly a priority for CBK moving forward and I think it makes sense.
As an aside - I would love to see how our retention of LA players correlates to Frank Wilson’s presence on (or absence from) LSU’s staff.

Will is solid and I am excited to see him dominate. Yet, I am confused because this isn’t building on a tradition, it’s completely changing it.

Had a feeling Wingo would get 18. 2 great choices by Coach.

I’m confused because they said that BK “is building on the tradition of 7”. But ok.

The best player in Louisiana legacy for 7? PP7 is from Florida
Reread it. I may be inferring too much but I take that as saying they are building upon the legacy of #7 and now that will include the criteria of it being the best player on the team from Louisiana. Basically establishing a criterion as we advance.
