Big time commit. Our 7th highest commit ever (according to 247sports).

Also, 19th Best Cornerback on ESPN for 2021, and rated 80 (4-star).

First step will be seeing him sign next week, and then go from there. Regardless of how much I’d like to see it, I’m not holding my breath. I hope I’m wrong.

ELITE BALL REACTION SKILLS. With him and Elad, you're looking at future All-MAC corners. He is Day 1 punt returner and probably kickoff returner as well. Keeps his feet underneath his body so he is able to juke immediately. He is going to be fun to watch.

Video of Shakari looks impressive. I am always especially interested in your evaluations ExCat21 since you are a former player. A “Football Shak of the MAC” perhaps? I know, not a “q”. Still works. :)

I was reading a story about Super Bowl participants by conference. The MAC was sixth of the conferences, with eight listed, and ranked ahead of the Big 12, AAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt. I know Fisher didn’t play, nor did Javon, but even without them the MAC was sixth. I think we sometimes underestimate how willing top recruits (High 3s & up for lack of a better measurement) might be to go to the MAC. Recruiting staff can certainly site some evidence of further success.

Taking this a step further, this year's super bowl proved that you don't have to be a blue-chip recruit (4 or 5 stars) to make it to the big game. Of this year's starters, more than half were not blue-chip recruits:

4 were 5 stars; 16 were 4 stars; 14 were 3 stars; and 11 were 2 stars or unrated.

Also of note, Ohio State did not have one player in the game and I don’t believe Alabama did either, although I understand they had a player in a similar situation as Javon (back and forth between practice squad and game day roster). Not sure what happened in his case. FCS was well represented too and there was a Canadian college or two in there also.

Also, my apologies for my use of “site” instead of “cite”. :)

That is true most every year. Couple truths to that though, the better teams inline for a deep playoff run are not dealing with a top pick in the draft. They have to look for value and player.

G5 teams need to have a 24-0 record before even entering that equation. UCF is the only entertainer of that convo these days and with Gus Malzahn they look like the G5 team to beat out.

Oh, sorry, I missed NIU going 24-0 to play in the Orange Bowl 6 years ago.

Did we forget Western Michigan (13-0) in the Cotton Bowl in 2017 vs Wisconsin?

Yes, it takes a perfect season and some hype (prob some preseason top 25 votes) to realistically get there.

...So you're saying there's a chance...

Maybe not 24-0, but you get what I mean. UCF had a perfect season, got no love and then beat Auburn the following year. But WMU is definitely the example.

And Western? Did they not make a NY6?
