Kentucky Basketball Recruiting: Shareef O’Neal decommits from Arizona Wildcats

For many worried about the 2018 Kentucky Wildcats recruiting class, a former option is back in play.

Shareef O’Neal, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, had committed to playing for the Arizona Wildcats this upcoming 2018 basketball season. He is a five-star power forward by Rivals that was wanted by teams across the nation.

Before committing to play at Arizona, Kentucky was seen to be a strong contender for him. Now, with the Arizona situation in flux, O’Neal is reopening his recruitment:

I wanted to send a personal thank you to coach miller , coach romar , coach phelps , and all the Arizona staff and fans for all the support they’ve shown my family and I.
