ALABAMA
Ha’Sean Clinton-Dix, S: Alabama boasts one of the best safety tandems in the league in Mark Barron and Robert Lester, but the 6-foot-1, 203-pound Clinton-Dix has the size and skill set to come in and make the Crimson Tide even stronger on the back end of their defense.
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT: One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country last year, Kouandjio could provide some immediate depth. The Tide were already looking at moving All-SEC guard Barrett Jones to left tackle.
LSU
Jarvis Landry, WR: If the Tigers are going to make a run at a national championship in 2011, they’re going to need a lot more production from their passing game than they got a year ago. Landry is dynamic in the open field and should complement Rueben Randle and Russell Shepard nicely.
RIVALS- Coach Mullen picks up his 2nd commit for the week in Nelson Adams from Brandon, Mississippi. 6'5" 240 lbs and plays defensive end.
No other offers yet.
BIRMINGHAM NEWS- Miss State Coach Dan Mullen thinks trying to keep Mississippi State fans from ringing illegal noisemakers during a football game is an insult on par with trying to poison the Toomer's Corner trees in Auburn.
AJC- the cowbells, one of the SEC’s more controversial traditions, got a reprieve Friday when the conference presidents approved a one-year extension of an exception for MSU to the rule that bans artificial noisemakers in conference stadiums.
The Other Bulldogs can keep their cowbells, but the league will come down harder on them if they don’t confine their ringing to between plays. Last year, the school was fined $5,000 for one infraction and an additional $25,000 when the MSU fans did it again. This year, if they clang during play it’s going to cost Mississippi State $50,000 per infraction
CLARION LEDGER- Mississippi State safety Dennis Thames was dismissed from the football team Thursday for violating unspecified team rules, coach Dan Mullen confirmed to the Clarion-Ledger this morning.
OPELIKA NEWS- The Mississippi State-Auburn game on Sept. 10 will kick off at 11:21 a.m., the SEC announced Thursday.
The game, Auburn's second straight home date to start the season, will be televised on SEC Network.
CLARION LEDGER- Sixteen members of Ole Miss’ 23-man signing class, led by Philadelphia linebacker C.J. Johnson, rated as Mississippi’s top 2011 recruit, have enrolled at Ole Miss for the first term of summer classes, the school confirmed today.
Those classes started today.
