Shaquille O'Neal's Son Shaqir Commits to Texas Southern

ADAM WELLS

Shaqir O'Neal, the 18-year-old son of Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, has committed to play college basketball at Texas Southern.

He announced his decision in an Instagram post Friday.

"You can expect a lot of buckets," O'Neal said in an interview with Overtime (h/t ESPN's Myron Medcalf). "I'm trying to get to the league."

O'Neal also said he picked Texas Southern because he wants to help "change the narrative" about high-profile athletes pursuing a future at historically Black colleges and universities.

Shaqir's older brother Shareef is currently enrolled at LSU after spending two seasons at UCLA. He averaged 2.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 10 games during the 2020-21 campaign.

Shaq’s kids are really sweet . The oldest went to Crossroads with one of younger relatives. They graduated the same year too.

I have conflicting views on his decision. He’s not that good so he probably wasn’t being recruited by major schools. When a top prospect like Marku Marker decides to go a HBCU I feel like that’s more significant. I’m happy no the less though
