One of Julio Jones' recruiting contemporaries from Georgia, who is also an All-SEC wide reciever A.J Green is being held out of the cupcake home opener, Louisiana-Lafayette. The NCAA is investigating his possible participation in the South Beach parties by NFL agents that led to the suspension of Alabama's Marcell Dareus.

In response to the allegations and NCAA investigations, Green said "I've never been to South Beach," when his name surfaced in connection to the allegations.

While this will not directly affect Alabama unless it is a serious violation and we happen to meet Georgia in the SEC Championship, it still is interesting news in SEC football. However, I happen to believe if it is serious, then Georgia has no chance to go to the SEC championship without A.J. Green anyway!

Roll Tide!
