Starting the day with a pair of recruiting stories on the front page.  Prob’ly ’cause there’s not much else going on today.

Mike Herndon of the Mobile Press-Register tackles the in-state recruiting battle between Alabama and Auburn in his latest column.

It should be no surprise that Nick Saban and Alabama have commitments from seven of The Press-Register’s Elite 18 prospects.  Auburn has just three.

But as Mr. Herndon points out, there are a couple of uncommitted players on the list who seem to be leaning toward Auburn.

In other words, Gene Chizik might be holding his own against Saban and the Tide.  And in other, other words expect to see more limos rolling across the state of Alabama next spring.
