Taking to IG story, the Gators player shared a collage of cute four pictures of them. The third one featured an image of their shadows making a heart with their hands, while the second was Me’Arah’s selfie with her girlfriend. The collage was followed by another photo showing two big bouquets of roses, balloons, a basketball full of snacks and a heart-shaped pillow. What could be a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Just a few days ago, the 18-year-old promoted a new dating app on her Instagram. It’s the familiar one, Tinder, but a very different version of it. It is specifically designed for busy college students who don’t have much time. So, this application makes dating easier for college students. But how?

As Me’Arah explains, the app helps students find their best match within the same school campus or nearby. Interesting, right? This application is called TinderU. She even claimed that she had found her match through the app. “Yo, what’s good y’all. It’s me, Meezy O’Neal. Get ready with me to go on a date. Got invited to a party, but the invitation says I need a plus one. With playing and going to college all week, I haven’t had the time to find a date. I know it’s super last-minute, but I got a little secret. Have you heard of Tinder U?” Me’Arah said on her IG story.

But that is all known about Me’Arah’s partner. However, she also shared that her partner has the same interests as her. It seems the 18-year-old’s girlfriend might also be invested in the sport. Apart from the injury that caused trouble, Me’Arah has been having a great season and is certainly worth taking an interest in. 

Me’Arah O’Neal shines bright with 19 points

O’Neal’s youngest had an incredible performance, leading the team to a 3-0 start to the season. She maintained her excellence until an injury during a matchup between the Gators and the Miami Hurricanes. She had to miss a few games, but she returned with a promise to reclaim the same glory.

In a recent matchup against the Razorbacks, O’Neal led her team with a career-high 19 points. The 6’4″ guard had an impressive performance shooting a scorching 85.7% from the field, 80% of threes, and remaining flawless at the free-throw line with a perfect 100%. She had support from Liv McGill and Laila Reynolds, who scored 18 and 14 points, respectively.

Me’Arah’s father Shaquille O’Neal once said, “I think it’s fair to say one day if she continues, Me’Arah will probably be the best women’s basketball player ever. She’s that good.” It seems that if everything goes right, Me’Arah will soon prove her father right in the future.
