re: Will La have a 5* this year?

Well...who knows?

There are several recruiting services/sites, and when you look at the "on field results," versus these services' assessment of talent, there is a HUGE DISCONNECT, in other words, the evaluators seem to do an inferior job, with kids in Louisiana. Unless you are in a "metro area," like N.O./Shreveport/Lake Charles/B.R./Lafayette/and Monroe.......you will be ignored.

Let's look at Boutte's performance at a "cluster evaluation in Atlanta," he seemed to have performed very well and ACTUALLY STOOD OUT.

So you ask about 5*'s? Louisiana is not adequately represented. This has been going on for quite some time.

One of those sites focuses on Texas; another focuses on Alabama; the other on Florida and Louisiana's population does not warrant the same level of "bias/representation."

So we may get one 5*, wheras we may have 6 or 7. I don't mind the under-representation. Stars are really not as important, as representated.
