Arizona landed their second commitment in the Class of 2018 this week as Shareef O’Neal, the 6-foot-8 son of Shaquille O’Neal, committed to Sean Miller and the Wildcats.

Shareef, who is ranked 16th in the class by Rivals is the second commitment for Arizona in the Class of 2018, joining fellow five-star prospect Emmanuel Akot.

O’Neal is not quite as big as his dad is, but he is an athletic 6-foot-8 four-man with ball skills and the versatility to play different positions. He’s a prototype, new-breed combo-forward.

He picked Arizona over LSU, Kentucky, UCLA and others.
