It ebbs and flows. We fielded a final four team almost exclusively from the Baton Rouge area

That's 20 years ago now. Less of an ebb and flow and more of a likely unrepeatable historical fluke.

I would bet if you could land the top 2-3 players from the state every year and add one from out of state you would have a darn nice team.

The problem is LSU is a mediocre program so even if Louisiana did produce multiple high major recruits keeping them home in the NIL era isn't likely. Basketball can't put a fence up like football.
