It's so close to LSU yet we seem to struggle getting recruits from there. Why?

Gump plants. Hopefully, we start to break the trend this year.

Research these names: Vincent Sanders, Sam Petito

Two words. Beat Bama. Simple as that.

This is 80% of the problem. Kids aren't always swayed by the home team just because of proximity to home. They want to win championships, and it's LSU's burden to beat Saban/Bama and prove we can do it.

No, that’s not it exclusively

Yep. If it was, LSU would lose just about every big time Louisiana recruit to Alabama seeing as how LSU hasn't beaten Bama in 6 years.
As much as anything, recruiting is about connections. Sam Petito is the Tangipahoa tie to Alabama. His connections in the area push the Amite guys to whatever school at which he his coaching. It's not a coincidence that Devonta Smith switch from Georgia to Bama at the same time Petito did the same.

Bagmen, “ coach “, father figure, handler, fixer, transportation to camps, lodging at camps, momma needs a job, walking around cash, quid pro quo, “ 500$ handshake, introductions, grease the wheels , nice wheels, you take care of me I’ll take care of you, etc etc ....

Besides Smith, what other recruits did LSU want and not get? I'm drawing a blank.
If Lee and/or Sopsher commit, will this narrative end?

S. Carter cb from Kentwood

If Les offers Carter at Boys from the Boot he more than likely commits to LSU and the Amite pipeline is never started

No disagreement there. Recall reading he was an LSU fan growing up, but didn’t get offer until after them. He was a top 100/150 prospect geauxing into his sr yr.

Your left out the sweet deals they get on those chargers
Posted on 6/26/18 at 4:10 pm to DlineU
No tellin, but we certainly have the opportunity to end that this year. I think we land Sopsher and Lee.

bunch of excuses in this thread. right recruiters should be able to lock down all of LA for LSU. that includes amite.
Posted on 6/26/18 at 5:17 pm to TheTexasTiger7
Someone in the Amite area needs to move on that situation. Saban certainly has.
Posted on 6/26/18 at 5:31 pm to gemlsu
We've got it taken care of.
Posted on 6/26/18 at 5:34 pm to DlineU
Expect even more recruiting competition in Tangipahoa parish from Bama with Pete Golding on the Bama staff now. Pete is originally from Hammond.
