On heels of Shaquille O'Neal and Mike Bibby hirings as GM and coach, ex-prep phenom Mikey Williams tells ESPN he has committed to play for Sacramento State. Williams transferred out of UCF to be under the tutelage of Bibby and Shaq now at a basketball program adding big names.
Shaquille O'Neal has agreed to become the men's basketball general manager of Sacramento State, sources tell ESPN. It will be a voluntary role for Shaq, whose son, Shaqir O'Neal, also plays for Sac State under Mike Bibby. Shaq and Bibby form a star duo as college GM and coach.
Sources: Sacramento State plans to file an application with the NCAA this week to transition from FCS to FBS in football. They plan to do so as an independent. The school has already filed a waiver to transition as an independent in football, which requires NCAA approval.

49ers’ assistant equipment manager Rob Lloyd, who joined the organization as an equipment intern in 2013, will be SF’s new Boom-Box carrier when it takes the field today in Pittsburgh. The team’s former carrier Nick “Dj” Kray took a job with the Texans during the off-season, leaving the 49ers with a void now filled.
