I still don't get the argument that Louisiana prospects are always underrated. It's not just Louisiana, but you see it across the South. Truth being told, there are many school districts that can't afford to produce film on their best prospects. There are plenty of cases in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and even Florida and Georgia, where kids fall through the cracks because of this. At least from an Alabama prospective, some of the best prospects are those that are "found" at camps in summer on campus. I'm sure LSU has similar stories. You don't seem to see this in Texas, California, and Ohio as much.

Kids at a lot of the smaller schools will get overlooked like you say. This happens in small states and even in Florida. Florida's situation might be because of the amount of kids and it seems like they let them move around more than other states.
I think the difference Yammama is talking about is fewer "recruiting site guys" have been covering Louisiana since Katrina than before.
I don't think anybody knew where some kids landed for a couple of years. Some of them are just now shaking out and being at the same school as the year before.
Some of these kids didn't play for a year or two also. Some left the state and are back and so on.
