Shaquille O'Neals kid wants to be recruited by the UA

http://www.nola.com/recruiting/index.ss ... talks.html

an interview with Scout.com, the younger O'Neal discussed his recruitment thus far, which includes three scholarship offers from UCLA, USC and Kansas State.

O'Neal has yet to make any visits yet, but is planning to make UCLA his first.

"They came to some of my high school practices last year and gave me recruiting tickets to some of the games," O'Neal told the website. "UCLA speaks to my dad all the time."

In addition, O'Neal said he would like to be recruited by Arizona, a program he has become very fond of.

6' 8" pretty quick moves. Wonder how he does against bigger opponents?
Interesting.

Shaq's Son Has GAME! 6'8 Shareef O'Neal Shows Off…: http://youtu.be/GMc3_tnct0g

Interesting prospect at the very least. 6'8 and looks fairly athletic. Based on bloodline, it wouldn't be odd to think he can grow up and put some significant muscle on his frame too. If he wound up growing even a little, that's really intriguing.

Having Shaq come to games would be awesome too.

When Lute was in his prime if there was a kid like Bagley Lute would have hom locked down. This one is going to bemuch tougher for Miller

Does Bagley have any connection to UofA? Other than it's his home state. I'm just wondering if we have any shot whatsoever.

No his connections are deep to ASSU. His grandfather is Jumpimg Joe Caldwell, arguably the greatest player they ever produced.

This one won't be easy and he is by far the top player in the country in that class. Heck maybe right now in all classes

Yes we obviously have a shot at an elite talent in our own back yard.

There wouldn't be much better of a feel good story than to see Manute Bol's son be a star in the NBA

He's got a ways to go before he's a surefire NBA player, but he definitely shows promise. You can't teach height, and he should have that in abundance...

Not sure what this means for his recruitment, but FYI...

@TheRecruitScoop: 2018 Corona Del Sol (AZ) forward Marvin Bagley III is transferring to Hillcrest Prep (AZ), according to @areacodes.

Haha, the news up here in Phoenix just talked about Bagley and said the kid might be the top recruit and has offers from Duke and Kentucky. Guess they forgot about the top 6 program down south

His little brother was there too, right?

I think I heard there might even be a third Bagley.

I'd love to know the story behind this... Especially considering I though Bagley's dad was a coach there.

I wonder how Deandre Ayton feels about this.

It probably has a lot to do with the fact that the NCAA is going hard after joke schools like Hillcrest and the Bagley's want to be able to play basketball in college.

Bagley is ineligible to play this year because he transferred for athletics.

Why did this kid need to transfer anywhere? He was already the #1 prospect in the class at Corona del Sol. SMDH
