Shaw on Lyons' transfer and other 5th-year seniors...

BTW, it's interesting to note that Lyons is returning to Harbaugh's team.  Sort of puts the lie to the statement that players don't want to play for him.

but Lyons never actually played for Harbaugh since Harbaugh left for the 49ers before Lyons enrolled.

I'm just WAGging it, but I'm guessing -- only GUESSING mind you -- that Lyons MAY have heard about Harbaugh from those players senior to him and coaches who had worked with Harbaugh but remained on the Stanford staff.  it's just a possibility that he had discussions with said players about Harbaugh's style and system before going to UMichigan.
