You just want these players just because they played for LSU even though only a few of them could actually contribute significantly
LSU has the most players in the NFL. Whenever a player especially from Louisiana goes to LSU and then say go to the Saints they are playing for more than what they may be elsewhere. LSU, Saints, and Louisiana are very prideful (probably more so than anywhere else) and I think it should be taken advantage of. I still hope Mathieu returns to the Saints one day. But until then all out on Fournette in 2017.

This is one of those lies that fans tell themselves. It has no basis in reality. At the level of the NFL this means nothing. If a player needs some motivation like this then he never was going to be successful at the pro level anyway.

People like you are truly retarded.
How many schools are there in the country? shite, we are looking into Canada and Germany now.
253 players drafted, hundreds more as UDFAs. What percentage of all of those players are LSU? An extremely tiny percentage?
The Saints have no allegiance to LSU. If they have an LSU high on their board, they will pick one. Otherwise they are looking at hundreds of other players.

You're clearly not a Saints fan, you're an LSU fan trying to translate that fandom to the Saints. Either that, or you're too naive to understand how the NFL works.
The Saints don't actively avoid LSU players. They simply draft who they think fit into their team and system at the time. Just because a player is good at LSU doesn't mean that they will be good in the NFL. And even if they are good in the NFL, that doesn't necessarily mean that they would be good on the Saints or fit into the Saints system. The Saints absolutely SHOULD NOT look at LSU as their minor league system. The Saints, and all other NFL teams, should look at college football as a whole as their minor league system.
