Shaq has a laugh about all the money LSU definitely gave him 25 years ago

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

It’s time for one of Shaquille O’Neal’s large sons to get recruited by D-I programs, and it’s clear which program Shaq wants young Shareef to choose:

This is pretty much Charles Barkley strat: Wait at least four years, and preferably a lot more, then speak openly about the illegal benefits you got as a prospect. Shaq has a sense of humor about it all, but the NCAA has no sense of humor about anything and is gonna be alllllll over any LSU recruiting in the future.

(Meanwhile, an LSU booster is on the phone right now like “Well, I guess we have to give him TWO cars now. Jeez.”)
