Sean Shaw Jr flew under the recruiting radar

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

He's got great size and made some really nice plays this year. On a roster full of guys that can get yards, Sean is really surprising me. He's really got a bright future here.

Only other power school that offered him was Kansas. What a steal.
I got to sit with my brother for a change Saturday - we generally have seats in different parts of the stadium - and we discussed that. We both agreed that he has the potential to be a really good receiver and a big part of the offense going forward.

I believe there were some issues there that caused that, maybe grades? Can't remember exactly but I think I remember seeing some things about some schools being skeptical he would qualify.

I could be wrong though.

I had the thought after one of his catches, "I thought Scates would be the redshirt freshman WR making the biggest impression this year but it's Shaw instead." I didn't know anything about his recruiting but he stands to have a big year with the departures of Jones and Pettway. He made a great play to deny an INT AND get the reception - very heady.

No doubt Sean has been a pleasant surprise. He's seen a the field much more than his heralded classmate Scates.

He’s been really impressive. Almost reminds me of Matt Eaton a little bit with the way he’s built + is used in the passing game

Way up there
Receiving corps in good shape to absorb the losses with Shaw, Milton and Scates, and Porter coming off redshirt. Plus Allen-and I assume Kolar is not yet ready to turn pro?

Wilson hasn't had a lot of production but he plays as much as any of those guys except Milton, he could be a factor, plus, this staff has shown it likes GT WR's. Wouldn't shock me to see another one next year. The success of Pettway and Murdock should be a selling point to any potential transfers.

He's got some nice quickness. He's going to be a dandy in the future that height and speed.
