Reality sometimes gets in the way of what we want to have happen

Ron Tyler at A Closer Look at LA TECH Hoops has some interesting material about Louisiana Tech recruiting and the year-by-year status of recruits in the state of Louisiana. There's always a preference for signing hometown and home state kids but a shallow or mostly academically-ineligible pool can prevent this from happening.

Louisiana Recruiting

I love message board chatter. Especially about recruiting. I find it quite humorous that grown men are working themselves into a fit because Louisiana Tech did not offer a quarterback a scholarship that not a single school did.

Likewise I love the comments that Rupp is failing because he didn’t sign any Louisiana players in the one (2008) full recruiting class that he has presided over. But then I’m guessing that those making the comments have no clue how bad a year it was for Louisiana basketball in 2008. The 2009 class is worse but I’ll get to that in a minute...

Go here for the remainder.
