---

3 Time Gatorade Player of the Year. 3 Time State Champ. Gold Medal Winner. Over 3000 points scored. Soon to be 3 Time LA Mr Basketball. Jordan Brand All American. Shocked the world by committing to the hometown LSU Tigers AND helped compile one of LSU's best recruiting classes in recent memory AND helped LSU football by recruiting his best friend to play for the Tigers as well. Name another more impactful BR Hooper.

Lester Earl, the first Louisiana Mr. Basketball, 3-time Parade All American, 2-time state champion.

Shocked the world by committing to the hometown LSU Tigers AND helped compile one of LSU's best recruiting classes in recent memory AND helped LSU basketball by recruiting his best friends to play for the Tigers as well. Recruited his teammates Cory Powell(a top recruit himself) and Tiger Womack, as well as his brother Louis Earl.

I’d like to throw Howard Hi-C Carters name in the mix. Played at Redemptorist in the late 70’s. They had like a 70 game win streak. Carter was All-American at LSU and first round draft pick. Had a money jumper.

Randy Livingston says hello

Anthony Greenup - Istrouma
James Banks - Belaire
Lee Carney - Belaire
Adarial Smylie - St. Amant
Corey Powell - Glen Oaks


All of the above are the forgotten BR guys.
