they're all from Georgia, can you tell me the last lb we got from georgia? Better yet, outside of Kwon can you name the last great or top lb we got out of the Southeast?

Two years ago we had the best MLB, I can remember. When did Kwon become a top LB?

Yeah, man, illinois is not southeast? Did you miss this past recruiting cycle? The problem in louisiana is that there are not many big schools, and as such many guys who would be great lber prospects wind up at de instead. Sucks, but true, which is one reason texas, ohio and florida have plenty

Going back as far as 2004, and based on their recruiting rankings (Rivals - because it is easy to look them up), nationally at the position:

2004 Luke Sanders (West Monroe) and Matt Stoltz (Arkansas) were top 15 linebackers (no, really)

2005 Darry Beckwith (Parkview Baptist) was top 10

2006 Derrick Odom (Mississippi) - was top 10 - the lesser regarded players from that class did better (yes, Riley and Sheppard)

2008 Ryan Baker (Florida) was top 10

2009 Mingo (West Monroe) and Minter (Georgia)

2012 Other than Kwon, Lorenzo Phillips (Patterson) was top 30 (but a 4*, and top 12 player in the state)
