BYU Basketball player previews: Braiden Shaw ready to make the most of his minutes

Way back in 2011, Braiden Shaw joined Nick Emery and TJ Haws in committing to Coach Rose and BYU Basketball. A product of Eagle, Idaho (yes, he went to the same Eagle High School that Tanner Mangum did), Shaw always wanted to play for BYU like his father Kelly, who played for the junior varsity squad in the 1980s. But Shaw wasn’t on the school’s radar until he sent a highlight reel to Coach Rose and was invited to attend a camp that summer, where he was named MVP. Shaw committed to the Y at the end of his official recruiting visit.
