Brian Kelly Gets His First Commit for 2012!

Recruiting has changed.  Remember the day when players waited until National Signing Day to make their choice known?  Well, those days are long gone.  Yesterday, one of the top defensive backs in the country -- he's a junior in high school right now -- became the first player to commit to Notre Dame from the Class of 2012.  Tee Shepard -- out of Fresno, CA -- decided to commit to the Irish over Alabama, USC, Auburn and pretty much any other top team in the country.  Here's a link to Tom Lemming (national recruiting analyst) talking with the gang at SportsBeat and a link to RIVALS.COM and Irish Illustrated's coverage of this new story!
