I remember seeing ECA play once when booty was there...and college coaches outnumbered eca fans
There weren't that many at Newman games....not even close....
I'm not disputing the Booty was big time, as I said I recall them both being top top 10 and 1 and 1a as far as QB, I would need a little proof for something like this. however. Now Eli maybe wasn't as big a recruit. But I remember Peyton being up there, even if JB was bigger.
Though I do have to ask, if Booty was so much bigger than I'm remembering, why did he sign with LSU and Curley fricking Hallman
? Seriously was it just that he was all LSU or was it because he planned on signing with MLB if he was drafted high enough? This post was edited on 11/21/12 at 9:22 pm

Looking at some old articles they were easily 1 & 2 in everything I seen, with Booty over Manning in most but not all.
Booty = Parade All-American Player of Year, USA Today Player of Year, Superprep #1 QB, was Superprep #2 QB when he signed again after baseball.
Manning = Gatorade ALL-American Player of Year, Superprep #2 QB (#8 Overall)
Seems like Parade was most prestigious at time, followed by Gatorade, then USA Today, and Superprep. Yea it's easy to see why you'd hear more about about Payton if you were in New Orleans with them both being huge national recruits, but almost every article I've seen doesn't mention 1 without mentioning the other. Even the article for Peyton winning Gatorade Player of the Year mentions Booty in the first paragraph.

Booty was also Baseball America #1 High School baseball recruit.
Picked LSU over Mississippi State (where dad played), Miami (coming off a national championship & runner up the previous 2 years), Colorado, Texas, Stanford and Texas A&M.
Advocate article said he wanted to play baseball & football in college and LSU coming off a baseball national championship likely played a roll.
