He may commit to Kal, but that begs the question as to why he has been waiting so long and attended so many Stanford events.

Shittu's H.S. coach is a California grad and a Stanford grad, IIRC.  He and California recruiters have convinced Aziz that though California has a lower entrance standard for athletes than Stanford, it is just as if not more academically rigorous than Stanford.  So Aziz Shittu is one recruit that doesn't buy the Stanford academic superiority argument.  And he really likes DL coach Tosh Lupoi.

That said, Stanford is still Stanford, and like it or not, though a California degree is impressive, a Stanford degree can open more doors post graduation.  And it is quite curious that someone would visit Stanford so many times if he wasn't interested.  From what I can gather, Shittu's parents may have pushed him to get admitted to Stanford so it would be an option for him.  I've yet to hear if Shittu has been admitted or not, and though I know California people are convinced he is going to Berkeley, I still am not 100% convinced.
