LSU gets a pair of commitments

The Tigers' recruiting class got a boost over the weekend with the announcement of commitments by Detroit's Joseph Barksdale and West Monroe's Luther Davis.

Both are highly regarded defensive linemen. Barksdale's commitment is unsual in that LSU hasn't historically recruited Michigan. And it's not every day LSU goes head up against Ohio State in recruiting but that is exactly what happened with Barksdale.

Davis' commitment is a good sign for LSU fans because the Tigers need to keep the fence around the state. Losing a player like Davis to a Florida State or Louisville would be a bad sign.
