Auburn backup cornerback to transfer

Auburn backup sophomore cornerback Kamyrn Melton has said that he is going to transfer. Melton said: “I want to thank Coach Malzahn and the Auburn coaching staff……After praying and having a discussion with my family to transfer.” Melton was a three-star recruit, and ranked as the 18th best overall player in Alabama, where he hails from. He was ranked the 41st best cornerback in the country. He had been hotly pursued all the way through high school by the Tigers. The move follows injuries to Jonathan Jones and TJ Davis, and the departure of Mackenro Alexander to South Florida and Kalvarez Bessent. Bessent was arrested three days after National Signing Day for marijuana possession in 2014.  In other words, this

LSU 2015 Preview: Can experience overcome bad quarterbacks?

We love Les Miles. We do. The grass-eating, kiss-you-all-on-the-mouth maverick coach pulls two or three results out his butt every year (and also loses a couple of games like that too!), loses talent every year, and still keeps LSU competitive. He’s a miracle worker in a place where miracles are much talked-about, because 13-0 is expected. And if not, he’s the most hated coach in Louisiana, if not the South. LSU fans seemingly are never happy with Miles, even if they win. Well, they might be a little more grateful for wins than most this season. Why? THE QUARTERBACK PROBLEM It’s all well and good having two of the best wide receivers in college football in Malachi Dupree and Travin

These SEC Draftees Will Make An Impact In 2015

After another highly-successful NFL Draft, SEC draftees from 2015 are GOING to make an impact in 2015. Sadly, after his ACL tear on Friday in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first minicamp, one of them’s not going to be the SEC’s No.1 pick, Dante Fowler (went  No.3 in the draft). 1.    AMARI COOPER (OAKLAND RAIDERS) The former Alabama wide receiver was taken as the best player at that position on the board, despite others seeming to love Kevin White. If his quarterback can throw properly to him, Cooper’s going to cause havoc. 2.    TODD GURLEY (ST LOUIS RAMS) Look, we know he probably won’t start the first few games for the Rams because of his bust ankle, but Todd Gurley (TGIII ANYONE?)
