re: Louisiana Talent...OOS is OKAY!

We arent ab oos players, we live in a small state with very poor areas. La is loaded with athletes. you got to spread the talent around, wed be a wr, rb, db only school if we loaded up on la talent

You think the staff looks OOS first?

I wish there was another Lousiana school these kids could go to. Big gap between ULL/ULM and another SEC team.

I agree with that! Trying to think of the last good LA QB...was it Eli Manning? Berlin, both Bootys, Jefferson, etc were all rated highly and none of them panned out no matter which school they went to. Perrilloux MIGHT have panned out but hard to call him a good college QB when he threw what about 30 passes his entire career at LSU. LBers as you said is usually not a good position in LA but the last couple have been better. Correct about OL also and TE not very good either. Been a while since LSU had a good TE and R. Dickson, the last one, wasn't even from LA. LA seems to be a state for RBs, WRs, DL, and secondary guys mainly. The rest of the positions, you are lucky to pick up half of what you need to get from LA.

Ya man look at florida and north carolina which just get destroyed by out of state school taking there talent. Loads of prospects are taken from cali, texas, mississippi, georgia, and ohio.

Out of the top 25 players in North Carolina last year 19 went out of state.
9 out of the top 10.

LSU has a fence around its boarders comparibly.

I like you all are really giving some good feedback. Yes, I know LSU is doing a great job in recruiting the state. Again, hats off! Just have to stay focused and don't lose the ones we need to keep. OOS is good !!

I also found and article about players from La in the pros. LSU has done an outstanding job at putting guys on pro rosters.

I know you understand what I mean when I say "stay focused". But on the real side of things, there are still some players here in the state who could help the TIGERS out in the future.

What about New Orleans? Marshall Faulk? Wanted him to play CB.

Oh, what about these players:
Ed Reed
Reggie Wayne
Matt Forte
James Hall
Jacoby Jones
Mike Scifres - a punter, yes a punter
Marvin White
Hiram Eugene
Arnaz Battle
Demetric Evans
Chris Henry
Patrick Ramsey
Brandon Jacobs
Edgar Jones
Jason Hatcher
Peyton Manning - never had a chance
Eli Manning- never had a chance
Mike Wallace - super fast
None of the above played at LSU

And there are about 80-85 player in the NFL from La.
About 43% of the player in the NFL from La are playerd LSU. That's a really good number!

My point is, we have lots of talent here. Don't get hooked on OOS players it may come back to bit us in the rear down the line.
