Long Beach Poly once had more NFL players than any high school.
Less of the blicks in LB now and a lot more under 6' Hispanics. They like futbol not football.
The whole demographic shift of South Central, Compton, the LBC and other historically Black neighborhoods is under reported. That's why you're seeing more recruits from Lancaster, Palmdale, and the IE
Compton Unified School District is 79% Latino. It’s easy to think: Richard Sherman, Kendrick Lamar they’re from Compton so they must represent how it is today. Not true at all. Same with Long Beach. Like Race mentioned the vast majority of African Americans have been forced to move east. Tough to find jobs in their own neighborhoods when even the most menial labor requires the ability to speak Spanish.
Disagree with some of this. The migration started in the 90s and has accelerated as families left those neighborhoods for the relative safety and better lifestyle of the IE vis-a-vis SC or Compton. It has indeed been underreported, but outcomes in general have been better for African Americans in the IE (see Vontaze Burfict)
