I know bagley is the big prize for 2018, but where do we stand with him. He's only 6'9 and wouldn't effect bagley at all. I noticed first puke isn't recruiting him and secondly we haven't offered him. Is this because cal likes to do it in a formal setting whether it be an in home visit or on an official visit? Would really love to get him he's ranked 16th and you know he will grow some more plus having shaq at games would be nice as well. Anyone know the latest on his recruitment?

Shaquille O'Neal: Son Shareef Should Play for John Calipari at Kentucky
"My dad actually wants me to lean towards Kentucky," O'Neal told 247Sports. "He has a good friendship with the coach there. I know a lot about that school because a lot of kids dream about going there. I like their style of play."
The elder O'Neal said he wants Shareef to lean toward Kentucky because of what Calipari can teach him about self-discipline.
"I've said that," Shaq said on his podcast. "The reason why Kentucky [was] because the potential my father saw in me and him knowing that I was gonna go to the next level, I definitely see it in Shareef. The reason why he trusted me with Dale Brown was because he knew Dale Brown could get me to that next level. Not playing-wise or coaching-wise ... discipline-wise."
He's actually rising in the rankings
No way Cal wouldn't let him come to UK even if he was a 3 star, Cal is a marketing genius, Shaq is marketable.
I would want him just for The Shaq sake. From what I've seen of his film he seems like a multi year guy and rated a bit too high. Recently watched the sec storied with Shaq and Dale Brown, really cool story and highly recommended to everyone.
I agree with this. Cal can make the program even more marketable, plus if he's half as good as his dad he could be a stud. He has risen in the rankings he was a 4 star originally
Can't be any worse than daddy, plus cal doesn't put too much emphasis on fts so he would fit right in

Hope he comes here, as a back up.
Like people said, having him at the game. Basketball celebs are great to have at UK.

Having Shaq on our side and at the games would be great.....but shaq has an ego....the second he feels his son is getting PT or being used right, you.m can bet he will say something.
I doubt that myself. He may have an ego but he's very smart. He talks about why he wants him at UK and it's because of discipline. I think he would be great for UK, ego and all. Not to mention fun!
I think at this point no one knows anything about where he is going or leaning. Plenty of time for Cal to get involved. If the kid is good enough to play at UK Cal will recruit him, if not Oh Well. I like Shaq and I think having his son at UK would be a very positive thing for future recruits to see. Just think about it. Big Blue Madness with Shaq interacting with recruits, especially big men.
I never said he didn't like the idea at the moment. But I wouldn't put it passed Shaq to say how he really feels if something doesn't go how he wants.
