Now that LiAngelo Ball has parted ways with UCLA, his outspoken father, LaVar Ball, has made it clear that his main focus is getting his middle son to the NBA.

However, one college coach would be interested in giving LiAngelo a shot on his team.

Oakland University coach Greg Kampe -- responding to a tweet Monday night -- said he would add the 6-foot-5 wing to his roster.

"I'd take him in a minute," Kampe tweeted of LiAngelo

It's likely that Kampe wouldn't be the only coach interested in LiAngelo Ball. ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas told Paste BN Sports last month that "there would be a number of places that would want him." 

Bilas, however, also said he didn't envision NBA potential with LiAngelo Ball, especially comparing him to older brother Lonzo Ball, a Lakers rookie.

 "I didn't see (NBA) potential in high school with LiAngelo," Bilas said last month. "It's not the same feeling as watching Lonzo — when you absolutely could tell."
