ROUX: Ragin' Cajuns add four commitments during weekend

[CajunGuru]

Rivals still shows him with only the Cajuns as a listed school of interest, but not as a commit. Why, I do not know.

VO, they have not been able to get him into school as of last week. Transcripts or something. The staff might have to go in another direction.

Why so few Louisiana recruits?

If I am right, we only have 18 scholarships available due to so many returning players

What is the hold up?

I think that the coaches like recruiting the major areas like houston and the cities in florida mainly because of how big those cities are. In a city of a couple million, its more likily that a good D1 recruit falls through the cracks and a smaller school like UL has a chance to land some of that talent. Case in point would be Brandon Cox who slipped through the cracks when he moved to texas for his senior season of HS from Pittsburgh. Had he stayed in pitt, he most likely would have been a BCS recruit, but due to him moving, he slipped through and got picked up at UL.

As an LSU fan you will understand this, you go for the best possible player regardless of where they are from. Its nice to sign LA players but if our staff can find a player in Texas or Florida they feel is better more power to them.

That wasn't the Rodgers kid from UAB?

Plus, most D1 prospects in Louisiana are committed to LSU from the time they're in the womb. It's a little more plausible to go to Florida and Texas and get any guys that fall through the cracks, and when you can get a Tyrell Fenroy from Louisiana, you savor the opportunity.
