Shaquille O'Neal had this to say about his son Shareef O'Neal's decision to attend Arizona.  "This is sort of deja vu to me," Shaquille O'Neal said on ESPN at the Hoophall Classic in January about his son's recruitment. "My father never said you should do this, you should do that. So I'm gonna let him make his decision. LSU, Kentucky, Arizona. He's getting a lot of letters. A couple of weeks ago, he got his book with all his letters, I got my book with all my letters. It's a great feeling. But I'm gonna let him make the final decision."

How exciting is this new journey going to be for the former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal to watch his son playing the same sport he did at LSU and the NBA?
