Can anyone break down a list of LSU/D-1 targets on each team?

Great lineup of teams but what the hell man? Louisiana kicked out of state teams asses so bad they won't play us? All the Louisiana teams are playing each other now.

When is this?

I wish it was Jenks or Tulsa Union playing IMG rather than BTW.

The fact that Moses went to IMG and the State La. brings them to play in Shreveport. Because of that they will keep pulling our best to Florida.

I'm sorry but you are going to have to reword this sentence in a way someone can understand it? Are you saying that because the game is being played in Shreveport, which borders Texas and Arkansas (Hence the name of the event), That kid's will want to go play at IMG instead of at home in Louisiana? Are you inferring that the game should be played in New Orleans instead? Because than it wouldn't be Battle of the Border anymore.

I would die if IMG took a Curtis kid after this game. The world would be full circle.

I am saying more kids will be taking out of state by IMG if the state of Louisiana gives them a venue. Just like Evangel did to Shreveport. I'm sure University High is so excited that there best player was cherry picked for his Sr. year.

The promoters who invite teams invited IMG... not "Louisiana". Their job is to sell tickets to this event, and what better way to do so than by securing the biggest national brand in high school football.

They are a cancer and need to be treated as such. If teams refused to play them they would stop being relevant in a couple years. And i don't get the it sells more tickets argument. Another Texas or Arkansas school would easily bring a bigger crowd than img. Im thinking img puts in some financial favors to get there schedule filled.

IMG has already established itself as a premiere school to go to before college football. If a kid has an opportunity to go there then they will take it no matter which state they live in if they are trying to prepare for college football. If anything this should step up louisiana high schools to get more serious in setting up players for college if they don't want to lose their players to a school that they will feel better prepares them for college ball. If you don't want IMG to come in a steal your kids, then make your program better and show the kids that your program without a shadow of a doubt will help that player get ready for college ball.

I tend to agree. Step your game up. Then again it's hard to compete with a powerhouse when you have a small budget.
Posted on 5/23/16 at 12:44 pm to Tamer of beasts
Damn, I'm going
Posted on 5/23/16 at 12:56 pm to BigEdLSU
We know budget is an issue but there are creative ways to achieving the same outcomes. I've found that a lot of high school coaches don't put enough effort at getting kids names out their as well. If you can give the kid everything he needs to succeed than they will stay.
