I'm sure Shemar genuinely believes he is better than the 15 other guys ahead of him, which is good because that's the mindset you should have. In reality, he is going to a place that has 10-15 kids ahead of him likely that were also all high rated in their class and have experience in the scheme, has a pretty crappy living area in College Station, will play for a fanbase that will eat him alive and cast him aside the second he makes a bad play. On the other hand, he could have stayed home, been a hometown hero, made as much if not more money than at A&M, had basically an inside track to starting or getting massive playing time as a freshman and getting to live in Miami.
Added all up, that's a less than ideal situation to a good majority of people.
