While on the topic of football, let me quickly update you on what I’m hearing about three in-state recruits. Two are Parkway teammates, quarterback Justin Rogers (6-4, 195) and wide receiver Terrace Marshall (6-4, 190). The other is offensive tackle Cameron Wire (6-6, 275) of East Ascension.

Rogers (No. 9 on our list of Top LA Prospects) was the topic of discussion among many Tiger fans yesterday because of a comment he made in a recent interview. “I wouldn't say I’m in LSU country anymore,” Rogers told Rivals.com’s Woody Wommack. “LSU is on bad terms with people around here. Brandon Harris was their baby. There are some LSU fans here and either they were mad about Brandon's situation or they were all for Les Miles. It's not really LSU country around here anymore.”

Ouch.

North La has never been LSU country besides West Monroe because of Don Shows. This is nothing new


ETA: It is LSU country in North La for white/predominately white schools mostly. LSU has never had a solid hold on the minorities, except like I said Shows when he was at WM

He's talking about Parkway high school, not some large region. Brandon Harris was from Parkway. Which I dont believe he speaks for everyone there (Even himself), because we're in his final 2 along with TCU and Marshall the WR we are the favorite to land.

This is the same school where the former head coach banned Alabama from the campus, right?

That worked out well for him.

Yeah and I think the same guy who openly pleaded with him to transfer after he was benched for the rest of his freshmen year when he shat himself vs Auburn

And by "many Louisiana residents", he means a few butthurt folks at Brandon Harris' high school in Shreveport who are pissed off because he lost the starting QB job.

Also, the thread title is pretty shite It is clear the quote from the recruit is speaking of his own high school, not that of many LA residents

Shreveport has been, and continues to be, very pro-LSU.

What situation? He was a cocky, entitled kid who wasn't good enough to beat out Jennings as a freshman and couldn't keep his job as a junior.

this is like saying Tenner is losing the loyalty of all those Memphis HS players, and then attempting to say it's "TN residents as a whole upset with Tenner"

I updated the title to more accurately reflect the location in the state.

it's perfectly fair for some of those residents and players to be upset. Miles and Cam were not good for Harris. His development over 3 years was putrid.

When BH is giving the opportunity at NC and he can't handle the pressure then everyone will realize he is not what they think he is.

Real question: Why do you read an LSU news website?
