Sirs, having never spoken to Tee, I cannot claim to know anything myself with any high degree of certainty.
However, I think you might take it a bit easier on the NDFAN22. There are lots of us on here that have heard things from people we would consider to be reliable sources... some of us have chosen to keep that information to ourselves, while others have chosen to share it. I don't think we necessarily need to condemn him as producing unsubstantiated rumors for the sake of doing so... he very well could merely be trying to share the information he has and made his case look at bit worse by trying to defend himself.
Perhaps a simple "In the future, if you're posting about something, provide more evidence of its truth than given here or don't post it" would suffice.

In general the haste to crucify people for spreading rumors isn't extremely necessary in my opinion. For example:
I just graduated from ND and knew someone last semester who was good friends with much of the football team. I got pretty close to posting something well before Tee left ND based upon a statement my friend said off-hand. Basically when I the guy whether Tee would start next year, my friend made a face. He then stated that he wasn't sure, and implied that Tee didn't like ND very much, but that my friend thought Tee would probably stick around for next season. I chose not to post this information, mostly because I didn't think about doing so at the time, but had I done so, the reception would've probably been rather poor. When Tee actually left, I thought that this substantiated the guy's claims (apparently not) and I regretted not posting it.

In light of the last week or so, Tee's supposed dislike of ND is clearly not accurate, but I suppose I don't completely see the harm in using a site like this to try and gather evidence as to what it is that actually happened (or is happening) and allowing people to use their discretion to sift through the evidence.

tl;dr: Consider giving NDFAN22 a break. He's probably trying to help, not troll. Personally, I'm interested in what he has to say. Just remember to stick to the adage of "don't necessarily believe everything you read."

P.S. Welcome back GBDomer! (I now feel awkward about posting such a long thing in the middle of your celebration!)

you know its punks like you who make me not want to post on this board anymore. I know Tee i have talked with Tee plenty of times. I broke the news of him committing before a sole even knew he was going to do it. I have grown close with him over time. I have talks with him about USC, ND and still talk to him about all this stuff. I won't say why he isn't at Notre Dame anymore because its know ones business. For you to sit here and Tee did shady stuff and "weird stuff" is just completely wrong. Don't sit here and flex your muscles acting like you know something that you don't. You don't have to believe me and think whatever little ****ing source you have is correct because its not. Sure Tee made some mistakes while he was there but it had nothing to do with weird and shady sh1t. ND took a chance and Tee took a chance with ND. He still loves ND and wants to come back. Will he? i doubt it. But don't sit here and make up false **** about someone I grew close to over time. That will drive me out of my grave to post.

Just retweeted this

“@TJamesISR: It's pretty clear that Tee Shepard has been thinking a lot about #NotreDame lately. I don't have any other answers though.”

I sure hope this young man pulls it together and find his way back to South Bend. Short of criminal behavior, all can be forgiven and we can move forward. Lord knows I wasn't ready for my freshman year and that certainly wasn't as an early enrollee. Being now on the outside looking in has given him some perspective--one way or the other I wish him good luck in what ever path he chooses. I suspect virtually everyone on this board does, hence the reason I like coming here as opposed to some other sites.

My coworkers on chatsports and I are trying to get Tee to do a brief interview just so we get some actual facts out.

So far for questions we have

What is the earliest you would be able to rejoin ND?

Are you in contact with Coach Kelly? Does he know about your desire to come back?

Will you be playing JUCO this year?

What else is there to ask?

So Tee just un-protected his tweets again today? His was the steadiest of commitments (mostly) but this is about as mysterious as it gets now... I just wish him the best however things turn out

Okay you guys think I'm a college kid that ha a friend on the team couldn't be more wrong. I'm not going to name my source because that would be pointless and stupid. I was told this in a phone conversation straight from a coach on the staff who is a serious recruiter for ND. The facts are the really weird things that happened with him while on campus. I'm my goin into specifics because it is not right to mention or would it be acceptable for the things that happened to be written on here. If you really want some info it would and maybe cut the "vague" out of the statement, which is 75% of posts anyways then it'd have to do with coming home from the bars and actions taking place. So there you guys go who think your sweet because you have 2784894 posts on here and think I have no legitimate info.

I apologize if I offended anyone at all through out this whole thing, I won't post any more info regarding info I hear from this coach. I shouldn't off said what I did without saying what exactly the facts I know. If I was going to say something I should say exactly what it is, I just thought would be bad if I did.( apparently either was bad) Was just trying to give insight to a possible reason ND didn't work out the first time, and hopefully there will be a second. I really do hope though Tee is actually trying to make it back to ND because Lord knows we need his skills.

You clearly need a lesson in "cryptology" lol. But forreal, I have nothing against you my man, but if you were talking to a coach, I feel that you wouldnt say it was coming from a coach. At least I wouldnt ..

Think Butler is relaying a message from the mothership to reel this thing in a bit?
