ALEXANDRIA, Louisiana -- Over the past few seasons, Southern coach Dawson Odums has made Central Louisiana a priority in recruiting and reaching out to the alumni from the area.Odums was once again in Alexandria Thursday for the annual "Meet the Jaguars" fundraiser that was presented by the Rapides Chapter of the Southern University Alumni Federation.
"The biggest thing is being able to be present year in and year out," Odums said. "Being able to come out for the sixth year as the head coach is just great. Our motto is 'Knock on every high school door in the state of Louisiana,' and we've been able to do that. We've been fortunate to get some kids out of this area."
The Jaguars have dipped deep in the Central Louisiana pipeline and have unearthed a few gems over the last few years.
Last season, Peabody's Jamar Washington turned heads as he went from preferred walk-on to making the most of his moment as a true freshman.
