Recruiting is in cycles. LA is a small state. No matter how much people want to kick and scream I think the coaches deserve way more credit than given when it comes to recruiting.

Katrina put a monstrous dent in Louisiana athletic talent

LA had five players drafted. When people say anyone can come in here and win because of the talent, they are basing it off per capita. That doesn't tell the whole story.

In this case, in one cycle, Illinois had more NFL talent than LA. But LA has more per capita.

I just get tired of LSU fans who think a monkey can recruit and win at LSU.
