Tough city to win recruiting battles in consistently. It is a very talented area with lots of speed. Ohio state has done well in the Lou but for the most part it is open for business. Public schools there are not good, so all the talent lands in the private schools. These kids have been getting recruited since there 6th grade year to play ball. Best way to win recruiting there would be to get a desmet, cbc, or Ritter coach on staff in some capacity.
LSU had the old desmet coach there for a bit and the Lutheran north or trinity coach went to Illinois.
