-You can surmise that there are more top notch players from La than Al so they have to look elsewhere.

LSU doesn't share in-state talent with another Power 5 school, let alone a Big 6 SECW school that has won a national championship and the SEC multiple times this decade.

The fact that Bama is able to do what they do with another championship caliber, 100+ million dollar athletic program in state is impressive.

They are in the middle of sec country, distance isn't as much as a factor to them as others.

Plus you can look at the draft and see states like Mississippi, Georgia and Florida all had more guys taken in the NFL draft recently than Louisiana.

There is enough talent in their state and bordering states to go around.
