Well, apparently there aren't a lot of Louisiana players to go around (at least ranked players).
24/7 has 3 players on the composite rankings https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Ba...chool&State=LA

Only 3 kids? Unbelievable. Do they no longer play basketball in Louisiana High Schools? Why is this happening? Seems like the law of averages would dictate better results than this....without even trying.Originally Posted by sportdawg
If our coaches are relying on rankings from 247 sports or any other ranking system to find players, we have a problem.
More than one way to skin a cat. It can be local kids, or non locals with a decent head on their shoulder, or a team first kid, or an underrated kid who is happy to be here, or MAYBE JUST MAYBE a coach who can create a team first culture where the players wouldn't dream of transferring, or all of the above.
"But touchdown these kids are wired differently, they watching Lebron and AD." Yea nice excuse every loser has one.
Fact is every school lives in this transfer rich environment. Louisiana Tech is trending down.
Just curious. Do AAU peeps care about winning or show casing?
We actually haven't had to deal with this stuff as much as most schools have. You could argue that means we are "trending down." You could also argue the law of averages are catching up to us. Transfers are a two-way street. We are excited about what Kalob Ledoux can add to our program next year. He led McNeese in scoring as a freshman and averaging 15 ppg and 37% from 3 as a sophomore. He had to leave McNeese to end up here. For the most part, we have avoided losing our best players. Our transfers have been role players or guys looking for more playing time. Duruji was our second-leading scorer and leading rebounder. He's a big loss. But Langston likely knows his PT would decrease with the return of Christon and Jean, and McKinley needed to go somewhere else if he wanted to play. Every school deals with losses each year. Even Duke has students leave, either transferring or turning pro before originally thought. One of UNC's best players this year is a transfer from Pitt. Gonzaga loads up on transfers every year. Those players have to come from somewhere. Player movement in college basketball is out of control, and it's finally starting to hit us.
