Welp...I don't think we'll have to worry about SR members complaining "Why didn't we draft any LSU players!?!?" in the 2021 draft

Having lived in Ruston from 1991-2008, I can tell you why Tech can’t compete with LSU. Because North Louisiana sucks in comparison to south Louisiana. Until about 2010 Ruston didn’t have anything really, nothing to few places to eat, not a College town at all. Pretty much the same for ULM but Monroe did have more to do. So why would a top prospect come to a smaller school, playing lesser quality teams, getting less national attention, with nothing to do; when they could go to LSU instead?

If that's the case why can't ULL or UNO compete? It's all about money. LSU has it. Nobody else does. And all of the programs that produce high the earners who donate to their universities are at LSU. But since you're from Monroe it's worth mentioning that having three 4 year universities within 35 miles of each other in rural northeast Louisiana doesn't help.
