I’ve known Shemar since 13U ball with North Miami Sundevils, Miami has known about him since his Freshman year in HS when he blew up with 15TFL’s as a standup rusher.
He played at Pace with James Williams, Divaad Wilson, Jahmar Brown Jaheim Joseph & the 22 Safety Semaj Flagg, all the others transferred to other schools, JW went to AH & Western, Divaad went to MNW, Jahmar went to STA & Semaj went to BTW. Even Lights Out Keyone Jenkins Miami Central’s QB who just lead them to a State title was an 8th grader at pace before he went to CC his Freshman year & just recently central for this year.
Our in with Shemar will be DVD who’s a Pace alum & is still tied in pretty tight with the staff their even though Zaccheo is retired, he’s still good with Perez’s staff. Myself & others have already relayed the message to DVD that the staff needs to lean heavy on former players & a kid like JW to get Shemar to see Miami is the place to be. Obviously, we use Rousseau & Phillips being possible 1st rounders heavy in his recruitment, but I recommended we lean heavy on Major 9 Chad Thomas too, because aside from doing it in Football he can show Shemar that you can be successful outside of football as well while still playing at Miami & make a career for yourself, plus he can get just about any rapper he’s a fan of on the line for a on the spot FaceTime call, whether it’s Rozay or Rod Wave or whoever.
It will be a long marathon battle, but Miami has a real shot, it just comes down to how hard we’re willing to go to get him.
