In recent history Louisiana has led all states in producing Top 150 recruits (on a per capita basis) I know USC reruits here (e.g.Robinson, Johnson, Hilliard). I would imagine most of the big programs are trolling here too. In California a few national programs (esp. UF) recruit the top players, but mostly these schools are after second tier guys. Is Saban pretty active in LA?

Most of the schools in the SEC.

Michigan always seems to pluck one or two out.

All of the SEC teams, especially Moo State, Ole Miss, AU and bama, recruit Louisiana. USC has always recruited our top guys. Ogeron always is around here as is Rich Rodriguez. Bo takes a few of our mid tier athletes and I'm sure Larry Porter will be doing the same.

IMO, I'd think Ole Miss has been the biggest importer/exporter of Louisiana talent recently, but that may have been because of Ogeron.

LSU gets they guys they want out of Louisiana 97% of the time though.

MS State pulls a lot of the guys we don't offer.

Michigan is really the one that always shocks me. They are always after LA players.

With 2011's class of soon-to-be-stars, EVERYBODY is recruiting Louisiana this year! Hell, even U.Va. has already plucked Matt Bailey (LB) out of Karr High School in New Orleans!

I was going to ask who UCLA signed from Louisiana?

Colorado use to get a bunch in the 90's and around '03/'04, but haven't seen them around here since the strip club incident.

since Nutt got to Ole Miss they havent been signing as many Louisiana players as they should. I guess Coach O and Frank Wilson were responsible for most of the La signings but Nutt has fallen off. if i counted right Ole Miss has only signed 3 players from La the last 3 seasons.

Arkansas got a few players out of LA while Nutt was coach, but honestly very few were being recruited from other SEC schools...He never put much of an effort there and I doubt he does that at OM. There is plenty of talent in MS if they can get 'em qualified and have put more of an interest in GA, AL and FL.
