Florida guard Me’Arah O’Neal has entered the transfer portal, her representative told On3 on Tuesday. O’Neal, the daughter of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, spent her first two collegiate seasons with the Gators, but now hopes to find a new team.

When fans caught wind of reports that O’Neal had entered the transfer portal, they had some interesting reactions.

“Wish her luck. Honestly she is not one of the best players,” one wrote.

“Come to Gamecocks nation,” another added.

“I would love to see her at South Carolina with Dawn Staley!! She is a baller that would be great in South Carolina!!” a third commented.

“Why does everyone want EVERYONE to go to LSU😂 like relax,” one wrote.

“Y’all keep saying she going to LSU or Texas…she probably end up going to Oklahoma State with Mcgill🤔🤔🤔👍👍,” another added.

“Ooooooo… Where to, where to… UCLA, LSU…? Options, options,” a user commented.
