While a few here were wondering about this young man's ability to play cover corner I sure am not one of them. Number 6 rated player in California in that article? Offers from the likes of USC and Alabama? Strong line-of-scrimmage jammer and elite hip-twister? Plus, with proper strength training a couple of decimals come off the forty time? Admittedly comparisons to Revis are a bit over-the-top just yet, but this young man looks like a real winner!! What a way to start our new recruiting class.

First commit of 2012 is one of the top ranked CB's in the country and a potential 5*? I'll take it. Go Irish!

Awesome. I was starting to get anxious about when we'd get the first one. And this is a great way to start. Now we just have to hold him for 11 months.....

Gotta love the first verbal considering DB is a huge need and this kid is a potential stud!

Awesome. I love it when I log into IE and see some unexpected awesome recruiting news. I went and reread that article and got even more pumped up!!! The end of the article read:

The next level?: Tee has an astounding list of offers and early on in his process had indicated that his top three schools are Oregon, Arizona and Notre Dame, in no particular order. Expect Tee’s top three to change because schools will really be recruiting him hard because Tee is a guy who should start as a true freshmen.

Tee has freshmen All-American potential and his coaches often call him the best cornerback they’ve ever seen. Tee Shepard is a star and will be a massive recruiting pull for whichever school he attends.

We desperately need defensive backs in this class who can come into the secondary and start from day one. Seems like Shephard certainly has the potential.

Hate to say anything negative today, but that does sound a lot like an early RB commit we had from Michigan who created his own "League" for ND recruits and commits. Sincerely hope this has a different ending, this is a major pick-up talent wise at a position of great need. Welcome Tee!

Would love to know what you're basing this on other than the fact that we got played by JH last year. Doesn't mean every kid is going to be finicky...

As for Tee, Scout has his 40 time at 4.5. Hope that's closer to the truth than the 4.7 in the OP.

EDIT: There appears to be conflicting info as they have his combine time as 4.71, yet up top next to his height and weight they show 4.5

Don't get too excited, fellas. He's not done with visits. All he's accomplished in giving a verbal to ND is getting us excited and getting more national attention from other programs.

Don't get too pessimistic. He could start at corner and be a freshman All-American at Notre Dame.



....just trying to balance things out.....
