LSU needs to recruit more unknown/rural Shreveport kids. Lot of talent but unconnected

Dak Prescott
L'Jarius Sneed (has 81 pass attempts with 0 TDs and 17 forced incompletions)
Tre White
Devin White
Mo Claiborne
These are all guys that came from extreme under the radar places. Minden High, Green Oaks, North Webster, Haughton, Fair Park High Schools are lucky if they even have a camera to film their games. The coaches there have 0 contacts. If a player from these schools gets rated by a recruiting service, I think that means they have a good amount of potential as you really have to shine to become noticed as a recruit from these impoverished high schools. Jarret Fobbs might be an example who didn't pan out, but I think the majority do extremely well. Omarion Miller would be another example.
FWIW, Evangel and Calvary wouldn't be an example. Coaches recruit so much and are connected there that even just decent players get offers. Doug Pederson, Eagles SB HC, was HC at Calvary just a few years before 2018. I'm talking about the North Webster, Huntington, Green Oaks, North Caddo, Fair Park kind of high schools.

This isn't the 60's anymore.
If you're playing great at a decently sized school, then you're gonna get noticed.
Also, I want LSU to recruit the best players they possibly can, and not just kids from unknown Shreveport schools...

Isn’t Dak from the Lake Charles area?

I mean 3 of the 5 did come to LSU, so it’s not like they totally ignore that area. And they tried to get Dak, but Les was an idiot.
At the same time, with social media, it would be pretty difficult to not find a stud player regardless of how rural the area is IMO.

So LSU got 3 of the 5 you mentioned. And if I recall they offered Dak but it was late.
Doesn’t sound like they are ignoring those schools.

Sneed is the best DB in the league right now. It’s a travesty he didn’t get an LSU offer. LSU needs to get back to finding these kind of gems on the defensive side of the ball.

It’d be better to give us the 2 and 3 stars who were overlooked and blew up. You listed the kids everyone was recruiting, no mystery there.

Part of what makes LSU such a great school recruiting wise is that you can say this same thing about any metro area in the state

You picked 5 guys from like the last 15 years. That isnt a very impressive amount of talent

There are better examples of recent kids that weren’t highly recruited out of HS but turned out to be good college players. Bernard-Converse, Decamerion Richardson, and Josh Newton would’ve been one hell of a group

Isn't LSU recruiting a highly rated olinemen from Captain Shreve for next year?

No, they don’t need to recruit rural Shreveport kids like they are some uncontacted tribe of the Amazon rainforest. Recruit and sign the best.

Hasn’t this school been closed for like a decade?
