Shaquille O'Neal talks about why he’d be happy for Shareef at UK

Shaquille O’Neal was in Whitley County last night to speak at the University of the Cumberlands, and talked about his son’s recruitment.

Shareef O’Neal is a five-star power forward in the 2018 class, and Kentucky’s on his list. Shaq seems to be pretty happy about that.

“I love — well, I can’t say I love UK,” Shaq said, laughing. “UK for me was always a tough place to play. It’s one of the schools on my son’s list. So, I don’t know where he’s going to go, but I’d love for him to play for a coach like Cal.
