Lil' Romeo signs to play basketball at USC

LOS ANGELES -- Actor/rapper Lil' Romeo is headed for Southern California to play basketball.

The teenage hip-hop performer and DeMar DeRozan, another local standout, signed national letters of intent to attend USC on Monday at a news conference held at a posh hotel near Beverly Hills.

Lil' Romeo, whose full name is Percy Romeo Miller, is currently a senior guard at Beverly Hills High who averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists last season. His father, hip-hop mogul Master P, had tryouts with two NBA teams in the 1990s.

"This is the most important thing I've had to do and hopefully it sends a message to kids across the country that education is more important than money," Miller said at the news conference. "Getting a college scholarship is more important than winning an American Music Award, and I plan to be the best student-athlete I can be at USC."

One recruiting service ranks Miller, a 6-0, 170-pounder, among the top 15 prep point guards in the country.

That is awesome.

I mean the guy is already rich, and his dad is filthy rich, so why not get a education. He can always sign in his spare time.

But i didn't realize the Romeo was that old i thought he was still like 14.


The one kid from smart guy. Tj the smart ass young kid, plays college football

Jordans kid is about to go some where too i forget where tho

Jeffrey Jordan has no business being recruited........except for the name.

he only averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists??? hmm sounds like usc just wants more people to go to thier games.

I wonder how many AP classes he's taken

Exactly what I was thinking. Most of the time, to even be considered possible NBA material, you have to be scoring 20 to 30 points a game, and 10 to 15 assists.

Most NBA players were the best in the citys.

Why is that? Is he not that good?
