That was a close one. ND could not afford to lose Tee as well.

Just a very well written, insightful article. Tee Shepard is going to be remembered long after he graduates from ND.

How many of you would like to have seen Mike Denbrock and Lane Kiffin throw down right then and there in the restaurant?

Maybe once Deonte gets a taste of Houston, he will again see the light and transfer to ND next year. You just never know.

It was Monte Kiffin, not Lame-I would have paid a lot of money to see Denbrock knock Monte back to their ugly campus in LA. You have a really good chance of getting mugged or killed on USC campus...its wretched! Go Irish!

I seriously doubt that would ever be an option. Deontay has been getting mad hate from ND fans on his FB. Ronald Darby has joined the conversation, pretty sad situation.

Tee has yet to play a down at Notre Dame and he is already my favorite player. Dude basically told USC to get bent. Gota love it. Denbrock is the man.

Not that I agree with any of that... but I would sure be interested in what is being said. What did Darby have to say? I'm sure he has came to the defense of Deontay.. curious to what he says?

My only concern is that many CA recruits do not always fully come aboard from the start. It's as though there's a trial period.
Most wind up settling in at ND, but a number of good ones don't -- Fauria, Shaq Evans, the German tight end --was it Conrad Ruhlen, not sure of spelling -- bolt in year 2.
I won't be sure of Shepard till he's sure of ND, and that may not happen for awhile.
