The junior forward was the first to announce his commitment to the Hornets under Bibby. He joined the program on April 4. The forward featured in a total of 29 games for Florida A&M but started only 14 games.

He finished the campaign with an average of 6.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg and 0.8 apg. O'Neal recorded 50.3% from the field and 39% from the 3-point line. His career is in an upward motion as last season was his best in his collegiate career Therefore, he can be the main man for the new-look Hornets.

Apart from Zach Anderson and Shaqir O'Neal, the Hornets have also secured the services of several other players: former UCF guard Mikey Williams, forward Brandon Gardner from Arizona State, guard Jayden Teat from Utah, freshman guard Isaiah Bronson, forward Jeremiah Cherry from UNLV and guard Taj Glover from South Florida.

The Hornets' roster is filling up nicely with talent across the court, who have a point to prove at this level under Bibby and Shaq. However, they still have a long way to go before seeing tangible success.
