Yeah LSU definitely has more than those schools except OU. LSU is probably the top OOS destination for Houston area kids. OU is like 30-40% TX kids I believe, it's pretty crazy

Yeah, our old chancellor pretty much came out and said the 10% rule was the best thing to happen to LSU. We get a lot of smart and well off kids that slipped through the cracks of the 10% bs.

I'm excited to see LSU put more focus on recruiting out of state. I'd like LSU to have a better presence in Dallas. Right now it's mostly Woodlands and Houston kids

I know a lot of smart kids that went to LSU, both from HS and people I now work with. Because there's so many LSU alums in Houston a lot of their kids are growing up here and going to the schools in Houston then going to LSU for school because it's the school they grew up rooting for

Yup. All of the Texas kids I know are pretty damn smart to be honest. My good friend was ranked top 10 in his 350+ graduating class out of Fort Worth. He & his gf both came to LSU. She was between LSU and OU. I know a girl who was the valedictorian of her class in the Dallas metro. Graduated & is heading to UT Pharmacy now. Most of the Texas students who are in Ourso, Manship, Engineering, or Architecture are solid.

The communication studies, education, etc majors tend to be the shitty ones from my experience
