So if you're Will Wade...do you take Shaq's kid?

I'd say yes, but if you do I would think you're going to let Courtese Cooper go to make room for him.
And I probably only do that once I know his heart condition isn't a concern.
You'd get three years out of him. He doesn't really look like he's ready to hit the NBA anytime soon.

Would be a PR nightmare not to...but he wouldn't need a scholly, and Shaq of all people would get that.

Yes

5 star talent, it’s a no brainer

It would be worth the scholly to have shaq going crazy at a bunch of games all the time.

Absolutely. Dude is very talented, not just some famous persons son.

I don't think people realize he was a borderline 5* recruit. He had a heart condition that by all accounts has been taken care of. He's not just known because he's Shaq's son. I hope Wade goes all out to get him. Would be huge for the basketball program to have Shaq around often and Shareef would help us win.

I thought he went to Arizona?

You have connections. What have you heard?
Also, where is Bubba Hotep when we need him?

My sources have largely gone cold. The last thing I'd heard was they were going to take Wilkinson and Anselem and then probably close it down, but 247 has more or less been reporting that for a while.
I don't know anything about O'Neal other than that we certainly stated our case for him but Wade got here way too late for it.
But given the current state of the program, the need for height (although you're talking about having this kid for TWO YEARS FROM NOW) and the kid's situation of having been no factor at UCLA this year (2.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 32% from the floor), you'd think we could at least make a good pitch to him.

Why? He went somewhere else...we don’t owe him anything.

If he wants to come to LSU, a spot will be available, IMO.

In respect of what Shaq means to LSU I’d take his son.
Posted on 1/23/20 at 7:14 am to macaoidh
I might have to re-enroll, so that we can camp out on the ramps, like the old days. He would be a great addition. I just hope he, truly, is cleared, medically.

The kid has been given a clean bill of health with his heart.
If he is better than the other options to fill a scholarship, you take him. Otherwise no. Taking him just to appease Shaq is not a good mentality. This kid didn’t choose LSU to begin with and we don’t owe him a spot just because of that.

Why is he transferring?
