per DD this morning, sounds like O'Neal is testing the waters going pro which I guess makes sense if he has not transferred out yet. I do wish he'd come back to LSU for 1 more year though.

The only way I think O'Neal would strongly consider staying at LSU is if it appears clear he would not be able to play next season due to the fact he has already transferred once (actually twice). I spoke with someone recently who spoke directly to O'Neal about staying. O'Neal was gracious, but said he already went through a coaching change once (at UCLA) and did not really want to go through it again at LSU.

That aside, do we even know if McMahon is strongly "recruiting" him? LSU only has two spots left for the 22-23 roster. One could possibly go to Adam Miller, and we know LSU is still actively recruiting. I'm not saying you turn O'Neal down if he wants to return. But it doesn't appear McMahon and his staff are really considering that to be a possibility.

I don't get the reasoning. There is not an option to not have a coaching change. If he wants to play ball next year he will definitely have a new coach. Why not stick with a familiar environment and a few familiar teammates?
