Since Addai and Shephard? The area was always LSU friendly, but it seems to have dried up of late. Hoping Nacho changes that, but just got to thinking I haven't noticed anyone in a while.

Per capita Houston does not generate nearly as many D1 prospects as say New Orleans. I am sure you can figure out why.

I have 3 kids in school in Houston.
I have walked into a number of High Schools here in Houston and there is always a big LSU flag in the main hallways. At a middle school that I am often at, there is an LSU day and the LSU fight song is played in between classes while kids are walking to class.
Also, there is always HS kids wearing LSU gear.
It is very rare that I see kids wearing gear from SEC schools other than Texas A&M and LSU.

This year Region 1 was really strong in the 4A/5A classification. Taking 3 out 4 @ state. 4 out of 4 if you count Allen who is basically from the Region 1 area. DFW had premiere talent this year. Not to say Houston talent isn't great because it is. But DFW was really good.

Per capita means nothing. Houston is a very large city. There are more hs football players in Houston than Nola.

Are you saying the average HS football player in Houston is better than in New Orleans?

Skyline HS usually produces some talent. The only one I saw recently was a RB that committed to A&M months ago.

Skyline is in the Dallas area, along with Desoto, which is also the in the DFW Metroplex area. Loston, Brockers, Hunter, and Thompson would be our most recent Houston grabs. Oh and Upchurch (current commit) is from Pearland which is in the greater Houston area, like Katy.
