O’Neal talks SMU

O’Neal made an official visit to the Mustangs earlier this month and recapped his time with SMU Analyst Billy Embody.

“The visit went great,” O’Neal said. “I love the coaching staff and how they appreciate me for me. I love the school and everything they’re building there especially since they’re now in the ACC. So in all it was a very good visit.”
