Which cities in LA are/ are not considered a lock for LSU recruiting?

I think you have some kids who want to go to LSU, and others who don't. No problem with certain "cities".

Take a look at who we actually WANTED and what has come out since then about them (Willis and Noil).

I really can't blame CamRob for leaving with the way Bama's OL has been lately. I still feel as if he has disrespected LSU and the state though.

Which cities in LA are/ are can I make a general assumption about based on this season alone?

FIFY

It's people, not cities, same as on this board. Some think Miles is a good coach, some think he's a functional retard. Just depends on who the kid has talking to him, not a whole lot LSU can do but win games and get kids to the NFL.

I get it, it is a bit of a reach to generalize based on a entire city, but there must be a whole lot more people "talking" to the kids in N. LA that aren't pitching LSU.

Kids go where they want to go. This is a dumb thread.

Old school coaches in nela/Monroe had that area pretty well locked in to LSU. The guys Saban had play for him from Ruston and Monroe area all came high school having played for some old, hardass coach. That philosophy easily transitioned over to college, the school everyone loved. Like mentioned, many of these old school coaches think miles is an idiot and still strongly favor Saban. Hell, many of these kids would die for their high school football coach. He's their leader not their friend. Honestly, I think it's j a matter of philosophy. Wait and see when Don Showels(sp?), bastrop coach, etc become a dismal part of the football program is ran. New coaches give miles a new opportunity to rebuild relationships.

Shreveport is a mixing pot, and w Texas people holding a strong presence in Shreveport, you'll always have your problems there. But it's j a matter of who's talking to the kids. Strong tx presence here (not j UT).

New Orleans...well it's j like any other big city. Melting pot, everybody wants to be different. Trendy.

Nola will never change, but as long as you can cherry pick Monroe and Shreveport, sweep south LA, we have nothing to worry about. Need to get it back that way

Media has really screwed LSU...

Ultimately they make the final decision, but they are heavily influenced by someone/something to arrive at that decision.

OMG.

Showels and Miles have a tremendous relationship.



Will everyone understand one thing. The country is a smaller place. Kids travel early and often to camps, combines, etc. They stay connected with friends and family through all of this, the fear of leaving is no more for the elite recruit.

There are a lot of great schools and beautiful places in this world.

Yeah, we lose a few. But guess what, more and more out of state kids are finding us.

I am from NELA, LSU was a cultural afterthought when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, we only caught a few games on radio a year, hell I never saw anyone even wear a LSU shirt. Now they are everywhere. LSU has never been more prominent than it is right now, everywhere.

But then ...West Monroe... largest number of LSU football players.
