Louisiana Native Denzel Devall Promoted to Director of Player Development at UA by Evolved Simian

Saban is a class act. Louisianans, not so much.

And it is deliciously ironic that the first place saban and devall look to for recruiting is fertile recruiting rich Louisiana - the #1 state per capita for blue-chippers.
Since ala-shame-a doesn't come close to Louisiana for high school talent, guess they have to go somewhere.
Also ironic that we signed two players from Alabama this year..........

You sure about this? First, I think Alabama's HS talent in most years is comparable to LA's. This year, for example, AL has 2 top 100 players (a down year), and LA has 1 (a down year).

Also, every school "has to go somewhere" other than their own state for HS talent. When was the last time LSU fielded a team of entirely LA players? Bama goes to California, NJ, Tx, FL, GA, and many other states - not just LA. Its just that we do like to cherry pick from LA from time to time.
