Shaw is a native of Las Vegas and currently attends Mojave High School while playing circuit ball for Vegas Elite. Shaw picked up an offer from West Virginia on July 16. The 2025 guard included West Virginia in his top six schools along with Saint Mary’s, UC Santa Barbara, UNLV, Utah State and Xavier.
Shaw mentioned that WVU associated head coach Chester Frazier has been in talks with him during his recruitment.
“Wherever I go, I just want to enjoy the moment since it’s only once in a lifetime,” Shaw told WVSN.
“I’ll commit by November, for sure [before National Signing Day],” he added.
WVU hosted a pair of 2025 guards last weekend, including four-star guard Kelvin Odih. Odih enjoyed his time on campus while Morgantown was rumbling for the WVU-Penn State football game.
“Everything was great. I really enjoyed my time over there. The coaching staff was very welcoming,” Odih said to WVSN.
Odih went into detail about his visit, including conversations with Darian DeVries and Deuce McBride.

Morrisey signs Baylea’s Law, increasing criminal penalties in W.Va. for DUI causing death
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey officially signed House Bill 4712 into law on Friday.
The bill, better known as Baylea’s Law, increases criminal penalties against those who are convicted of driving under the influence resulting in death. The bill is named after Baylea Bower, a 24-year-old woman from Boone County who was killed in a car crash on Easter in 2025 caused by a drunk driver.
The bill passed the House in February, with several of Bower’s family and friends gathered at the West Virginia Capitol in support of the bill.
“Obviously we’re going to be heartbroken,” Bower’s friend India Henderson said. “We have the lifetime sentence of not having Baylea. But if this does help save a life in the future and cause someone to not want to go out and cause this tragedy, then that is a win.”
In accordance with the passage of the bill, Baylea’s Law will take effect on June 12.
“West Virginia will no longer allow those who drive while impaired to escape the full weight of justice,” Morrisey said Friday in a press release. “Baylea’s Law gives our legal system the teeth to demand absolute accountability for the most heartbreaking crimes. Today, our laws stand firmly on the side of victims and their families.”
Specifically, Baylea’s Law introduces the offense of aggravated DUI resulting in death, which will carry the following mandatory sentences, according to a release from Morrisey’s office:
- Five to 30 years in prison
- Fine of $2,000 to $10,000
- Lifetime revocation of the offender’s driver’s license
