Did you guys not offer Shaw? Or was he never going to stay home to begin with? He hasn't had the best career at KU, but I remember many were excited when they added him late.

Didn't have an offer according to Rivals. Don't know why or if he even was interested. The 2012 recruiting class was the best RU has ever had although DB was not one of it's strengths with only Stepenson and the disaster that turned out to be in the Tyree situation.
 
Mystery over ... Here is Roselle Park, NJ's (father) Keith Loneker's Wikipedia entry. Interesting story. Jayhawks lineman, NFL player, actor, substitute teacher, Lawrence, KS resident. Question - How does a Roselle Park, NJ football player end up playing at Kansas? Is that a Glen Mason connection?

Shaw wanted an RU offer but never received one. His HS coach, who sends a lot of players to RU, called the RU staff over and over trying to get him in. In most years RU would have taken him, that year they had no room.

He committed to I think Colorado (?) but they pulled his offer a day or 2 before signing day when they received a commitment from another RB. That's when Kansas picked him up. I think Shaws HS coach called Charlie Weis and Kansas had room for him.
