关注奥尼尔的NBA球迷可能想知道他从加州大学洛杉矶分校退学后下一步会在哪里打球。这个全明星周末，这个人自己也回答了这个问题：他正在追随父亲的脚步，继续在伦敦大学的学院篮球赛。
在全明星周末的庆祝活动中，《体育画报》采访了这位6尺9寸的前锋，并询问了他在今年早些时候从布鲁因退出后的计划。他非常高兴地向全世界宣布，他对父亲母校的承诺是一个“完成的协议”

记者问这个年轻人是不是在追随他父亲的脚步，甚至打趣说他追随的脚步特别大。他笑了笑，承认他走的是他父亲在他面前走过的路。不过，他也指出，他很高兴能在路易斯安那州踢球。
“我准备好了，很棒的节目。路易斯安那州则是另一番景象。我在洛杉矶呆了大半辈子，但我已经准备好了。”
奥尼尔在布鲁因大学一年级时因为心脏病被发现而红衫军。他不得不缺席2018-19赛季的比赛，因为他从伤病中恢复过来，最终在米克克罗宁的带领下获得了一些本赛季的上场时间。
不幸的是，他没有得到太多的上场时间，因为他还在恢复中，不是一个完美的符合克罗宁的体系。他在16场比赛中都没有首发，场均只有2.2分，2.9个篮板，0.2次助攻。考虑到这种情况，他转学只是为了重新开始才有意义。

Shareef O’Neal follows dad Shaquille’s footsteps, commits to LSU
原文：
NBA fans who kept tabs on Shareef O’Neal were probably wondering where he will be playing next after dropping out of UCLA. The question has been answered by the man himself this All-Star Weekend: he’s following his father’s footsteps and is continuing his collegiate hoops at LSU.
Sports Illustrated caught up with the 6’9″ forward during the festivities of the All-Star Weekend and asked him about his plans after withdrawing from the Bruins earlier this year. He was more than happy to announce to the world that his commitment to his father’s alma mater is a “done deal.”

The reporter asked if the young man was following his father’s footsteps, even quipping that the footsteps he’s following are especially big. He chuckled and acknowledged that he is taking on a path his father took before him. However, he also pointed out that he’s excited to play in Louisiana.
“I’m ready for it, great program. Louisiana is a different scene. I’ve been in LA for most of my life, but I’m ready for it.”
O’Neal was redshirted in his freshman year with the Bruins due to a heart condition that was discovered on him. He had to sit out the 2018-19 season as he recovered from the injury and finally got some playing time this season under Mick Cronin.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get a lot of playing time as he was still recovering and is not a perfect fit in Cronin’s system. He didn’t start in any of the 16 games he played, averaging only 2.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.2 assists a game. Given the situation, it only made sense for him to transfer away from the school in order to get a fresh start.
