Looking at Wednesday’s signees — including junior college and prep school athletes — here’s a snapshot of the talent produced by the state of Louisiana in 2013 (as graded by Rivals.com):
5-stars = 1
4-stars = 12
3- stars = 36
Total 3+ stars = 49
Here’s where the state’s 10 highest-ranked players are headed:
LSU = 7
Alabama = 1
Texas A&M = 1
Failed to Qualify Academically = 1
Loyalty: Year-in, year-out, Les Miles always manages to keep the vast majority of Louisiana’s best prospects at home. This year, 70% of the state’s top 10 players inked with LSU. In a talent-rich state, that kind of work provides the backbone to one A+ recruiting class after another.
