1. Without looking at the previous classes I don't think we've had any success in Louisiana

2. I view it the same as Ohio. EB spent a **** ton of time in Louisiana with little to show for it. The elite talent is going to LSU, Bama, Auburn, and other SEC schools. Mid-level talent is honestly going to likely stay in-state. If a prospect shows interest then go for it but otherwise, pass.

Kendrick Celestine is from Louisiana. He's personal life got a bit out of control, but that can happen to kids from anywhere.

Munchie Legaux was a prospect we got pretty exited about. Bummer we missed out on him.

EB wasn't employed long enough to build the necessary pipeline. It takes time to build relationships. CU's history of scattershot recruiting and coaching turnover has done a lot of damage, in-state and out of state.
 
I'd add Illinois. The Illini have been mediocre for a long time and NW is kind of a boutique place. You wouldn't think it would be impossible to snag a couple of 3* types of recruits out of the Chicago area every year with a good effort.
