Shaquille O'Neal's Son Shareef Announces Transfer to LSU from UCLA

Former UCLA forward Shareef O'Neal announced Friday he will transfer to LSU.

The son of Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, he appeared in 13 games in 2019-20, averaging 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds. His best effort came in a loss to Notre Dame when he had eight points, 11 rebounds and a block, but he was rarely able to come close to that success again.

After seeing limited action in the first few months of this season, he announced his decision to transfer January 22.

O'Neal initially committed to UCLA in 2018, when Steve Alford was the team's head coach before the school fired him.
