re: What will it take for new coach to get LSU in the running for Shaq's son?

Although S hareef O'Neal is just a junior, would hope to see LSU become a challenger to land him.

Do you think Shaquille would at least encourage him to give his alma mater a shot if the program improves?

Heard Shaq talk on the subject some, said he would let his son make up his own mind, but feels that it may be extremely hard on him to go to LSU. Being in his fathers shadow constantly (and literally win in front of the practice facility) as well as impossible standards that people may put on him with the last name o'neal.

I hope he is a tiger, but at the end of the day, I am not going to sweat it. We have so many other things to worry about/ look forward to for our basketball team.
