Wish him luck. Attending UCLA might have very well saved his life and I hope he finds his playing time somewhere else.

Crazy, thanks for the link. Not sure how UCLA made a difference though compared to any other school he would've attended with medical care provided to athletes based on the article.MrBug708 wrote:https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... -due-heart" target="_blankscumdevils86 wrote:As someone who has largely stopped following recruiting what do you mean by this?MrBug708 wrote:Wish him luck.

Re: 'Reef
For sure, but I think as a parent, you default the thanks into the school he's at. I have no idea what sort of medical attention kids get at their various institutionsscumdevils86 wrote:Crazy, thanks for the link.

Does Goodman make the rankings?

Re: 'Reef
Considering the circumstances at the time of the de-commit, his own health issues and the inability to crack UCLA's anemic line-up, I'd say there's no bridge to burn and O'Neal just isn't that good of a player and his de-commit ultimately did Arizona a favor.Beachcat97 wrote:Gonna go with yes.dirtbags wrote:not that he’d xfr in-conference, but did ‘reef completely torch that bridge with miller when he bailed on his commitment?

Appears his younger brother isn't that good either, if some school is looking for a package deal.

Re: 'Reef
Shareef may yet emerge as a solid player. Just seems he didn’t find his niche with Cronin, and some of these kids with famous last names probably have a sense of entitlement the size of Texas. I doubt Shareef transfers to another top level program. I’d expect to see him end up at like a UNLV or LMU or San Diego State.

We really don’t need seat fillers.
Shareef would do well to go to a Nevada, Boise State, or Fresno State.
