Well, that didn’t take long. Only three days after decommitting from Arizona, Shareef O’Neal has committed to UCLA.
Shaquille O’Neal’s son finally broke ties with Arizona following ESPN’s report over the weekend alleging that Sean Miller discussed a $100,000 payment for DeAndre Ayton (a story that’s gotten shakier and shakier in recent days). When the news first broke, Kentucky’s name popped up as a potential landing spot for the four-star power forward, but clearly, he had a different blue blood in mind.
In other 2018 recruiting news, the buzz surrounding five-star big man EJ Montgomery continues to look good for Kentucky.
