I'm not sure how to measure this without taking considerably more time than I would like.

As a quick metric I looked at the number regarding players that were drafted from LSU. I broke it down by players recruited in the 90s (so they may have been drafted as late as 2004 but were freshmen in college in the 1999-2000 football season) vs Players recruited 2000-2010 (Drafted as late as 2013).

It appears to me that recruiting in general has been way better. What;'s particularly interesting is that almost 80.65% of our 31 draft picks recruited in the 90s were from Louisiana. Also, 19 of those 31 players were DiNardo Recruits. The by round and by state breakdown for the 90's is as follows:

Round 1 - 4 - 12.90%
Round 2 - 7 - 22.58%
Round 3 - 4 - 12.90%
Round 4 - 5 - 16.13%
Round 5 - 1 - 3.23%
Round 6 - 5 - 16.13%
Round 7 - 5 - 16.13%

LA - 25 - 80.65%
Tx - 28 - 9.68%
AL - 29 - 3.23%
FL - 31 - 6.45%

60 players recruited from 2000-2010 that were drafted, 60% were from Louisiana. Notably, they are from 10 different states, rather than 4. Breakdown as follows:

Round 1 - 14 - 23.33%
Round 2 - 6 - 10.00%
Round 3 - 15 - 25.00%
Round 4 - 6 - 10.00%
Round 5 - 6 - 10.00%
Round 6 - 4 - 6.67%
Round 7 - 9 - 15.00%

LA - 36 - 60.00%
TX - 42 - 10.00%
MS - 44 - 3.33%
AL - 47 - 5.00%
FL - 53 - 10.00%
GA - 56 - 5.00%
AR - 56 - 0.00%
IN - 57 - 1.67%
MI - 58 - 1.67%
SC - 59 - 1.67%
OH - 60 - 1.67%
