Linking Laconically went national

It's always nice to get a pair of verbal commitments in a day, but yesterday was especially exciting, with two players from outside the Midwest picked the Spartans. Felton Davis III (Virginia) and Josh Butler (Texas) both appear to be great fits, and they're commitments are a testament to the continued recruiting efforts of this staff. As far as random offseason Mondays go, yesterday was a good one.
