BATON ROUGE – LSU Basketball announced on Wednesday that transfer Shareef O'Neal has signed the necessary paperwork which has been received and approved.
O'Neal, the son of legendary former LSU and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, is transferring to LSU from UCLA.
After sitting out the 2018-19 season with a medical issue, the 6-9 O'Neal averaged 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds as a redshirt freshman for the Bruins this past season before announcing in January 2020 his decision to transfer. O'Neal played in 13 games for UCLA, averaging almost 11 minutes a game.
"The name O'Neal is a part of LSU Basketball history and we look forward to Shareef starting his own path at LSU," said LSU Coach Will Wade.
