According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, LSU is planning to unveil a life-size bronze statue of a college-age Shaq.  The 900-pound statue is going to be placed outside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center’s new practice facility. It will be the first of its kind on LSU’s campus, a fitting tribute for the only player in LSU history to win a collegiate national player of the year award and professional MVP honors. The statue has already been built.  The only thing stopping LSU is a concrete plan for its unveiling. LSU associate vice chancellor for communications Herb Vincent said the plan is to wait until O’Neal can “be a big part of” the ceremony. Presumably, that will happen sometime this offseason.
