The 2015 signing class will be unveiled Wednesday, but La Tech is following the same approach with 12 of its 23 verbal commitments hailing from Louisiana. The other 11 are from Texas, Arkansas or Mississippi.

The bigger question lies within how much does Tech spend recruiting in relation to its football and athletic budget. The answer is around 2.8 percent of the football budget and 1.8 of the athletic departments total expenses since 2009.

In 2009, Tech spent $4.7 million on football. By 2013, that number increased to $5.8 million but that's due to Tech's athletic expenses increasing from $15.9 million in 2009 to $18.4 million in 2013.

Tech's athletic budget is the lowest in Conference USA.

Tech spent just $154, 951 on football recruiting in 2013, according to a USA TODAY Sports analysis based on public records request from FBS schools. The lowest was North Texas, which came in at 145,280.

Could've guess that.
