We have plenty of big time players from the mobile area in Lafayette.

Yeah but they don’t have a team that’s been around 124 years and great success over the last 10 years or so.

Crazy seeing kids from Lafayette go there over us!

He doesn’t show an offer from us and kids wanting to leave their home town for college really isn’t that crazy.

I know but seeing 3 stars in the Universities back yard leave for a rival conference mate is just crazy to me. But I understand it.

I just looked at the ESPN 300 and noticed quite a few players from Louisiana. What I noticed was not a single offer from UL to any of them but plenty of offers from all other Louisiana schools. What is Des doing not going after any 4 stars from here especially in Lafayette Metro? Maybe I am missing something but wtf?

Maybe some folks here have tunnel vision and do not look at the entire picture sometimes?

It is no secret that the talent level Des has recruited is way down compared to what Billy brought in.

Top 300+ is now $ via NIL level. You don't "recruit" nearly as much....you buy. There may be a handful.of exceptions, it's 99+% $$$ via NIL for top recruits and same $$$ for experienced/coveted portal.transfers.
