Let's face it. LSU has no hold on New Orleans

Leonard Fournette aside obviously.
I think that has been evident for a good amount of years. How many star studded nola kids have we pulled in?
Freak?
Hill - and that took some absurd effort from the greatest coach of all time in nick saban
Beckham was an LSU legacy.
Seriously, those inner city kids have absolutely no loyalty to LSU or the state at all. Once LSU starts to win again and has the swagger back, they will start to recognize wanting to rep the state again.

Fournette. nuff said.
But to speak directly to your OP...
No, we don't have NOLA locked down. Nor Monroe. Nor the Shreveport area. The "fence is down!"; good, take advantage of it. The NOLA kids were recruited hard. They not only went elsewhere, but to teams on our schedule.
LSU has 3-5*'s, 1 from the Boot, 1 from TX, 1 from Illinois. If we get anymore, they will not be from LA. It is what it is, we can't change it other than going dirty. So adapt.

I can answer this some may not like this but most kids grow up Su are Grambling fans mostly Su and no one really likes Les Miles coaching. That's all I hear down here it's nothing against LSU is just Miles and that's the truth take it for what it's worth

12 guys on the roster this season were from NO. Do you mean "top tier" talent?
Posted on 1/3/14 at 9:31 am to Geauxld Finger
A lot of the inner-city kids just want to get far away. If a kid doesnt have that great of a home life, why would he awant to stay home?
Every kid's situation is different. That's why you can't totally put up a fence around the state.

Hill was a Baton Rouge kid.
Karr is not New Orleans.
And I will take St. Aug. kids all day, along with any kids in the Catholic league that can play SEC football. Throw in some kids from Belle Chase and the Westbank and I think LSU will be just fine in New Orleans.
edit note: Karr not Carr

The recruiting board is quickly becoming as bad, if not worse than, the rant.

The OP is not mistaken. I agree with the point he's trying to make which is that the inner city Nola kids don't come up dreaming of playing for LSU, nor is there any loyalty in their family to LSU unless their parents attended LSU (e.g. Beckham). Most of these kids grow up dreaming of playing for "flashy" schools like Miami, Fla. State, USC, etc. because they see those schools as the "cool place to be". Coincidentally, these schools are also the most pervasive in hip hop culture (I'm not being racist it's just a part of the demographic). The kids also see these schools as an oasis long away from their underprivileged upbringing in Nola. Many just want to GTFO of Nola and LSU's proximity isn't far enough away to satisfy that want. That, coupled with the non-established loyalty to LSU, leads them to follow these "faux" dreams out of state.
Frank Wilson is an invaluable member of our staff at this time. But unfortunately even he can't overcome the above for every single kid we want from Nola.

LSU has won 95 games in 9 seasons. The "average" Les Miles season is 9.5 - 2.5.
When has LSU "stopped" winning since 2000?
