re: Recruiting Players From Amite..................

We have players from Alabama.

Do we have any that Bama put a full court press on?

Because we did for Moses, Harris and D. Smith and many others.

It is not symmetrical and it is not "even". Go sell that somewhere else.

Every now and then, there is a wash. Like our getting Kwon Alexander and them getting Denzel Devall.

But for every example of that, I can find 10 or more outright steals (actually rang up to about 19, but 10 starters/high NFL draft picks is close enough).

Where is the "comparable" Alabama player (based on HS credentials) that we got for:

Luther Davis
Robby Green
Eddy Lacy
Derrington Stentimore
Kenny Bell
Brad Sylve
Landon Collins
Tim Williams
Cam Robinson
Hootie Jones
Cam Sims
Day Charlot
Shy Carter
Moses (*technically IMG, Florida, but, again, not only a Louisiana native, but Baton Rouge)
D. Smith
Mathis
Chris Allen
Sopsher
Christian Harris


Hell, the 2017 haul are still playing. If Moses had still been a Louisiana high school, Bama would have landed arguably the Top 5 or 5 of the Top 6 players in the state (Buggs was CC in MS, but a Ruston native).

Okay so now let's do Top 10 Alabama players to LSU since Saban took over in T-Town:

Sidell Corley
Phelon Jones
Kwon Alexander (And already covered)
Peter Parrish


Now, we have done well with other Alabama players - Josh Williford, Jakori Savage, Cordale Flott, even, but NONE of them were on Bama's radar and did not sniff the Top 10 in the state rankings. Both quantity and quality flows that way - player after player from Baton Rouge, NE Louisiana or elsewhere going to Bama and helping them beat LSU and win championships.

We got Kwon Alexander. "But, but, but - we get Alabama players, too!"

Get the frick outta here with that.
