...Top-25 prospect Jordan Mickey committed to the Tigers, as first reported by Scout.com.

Mickey, a 6-foot-7 forward from the newly-opened Prime Prep in Dallas, chose the Tigers over Ohio State, SMU and Oklahoma State. Even with SMU's resurgence in his backyard, the chance to come in and snag playing time right away was too difficult to turn down.

"I like coach Jones," Mickey told us last week. "I like the offense and the ability to come in and make an immediate impact."

BATON ROUGE - For the second time in three years, LSU will be one of the featured matchups on the opening weekend of the college football season as the Tigers will face TCU in the 2013 Cowboys Classic in Arlington, Texas, the schools announced on Tuesday.

The 2013 Cowboys Classic featuring LSU and TCU will take place on Saturday, Aug. 31, and will be televised by either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2.

Next year's season-opener will mark the second time that the Tigers will appear in the Cowboys Classic as fourth-ranked LSU beat third-ranked Oregon, 40-27, to open the 2011 season at the event in Arlington.
