WHOA!!

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lil' Romeo is headed to Southern California to play basketball.
The teenage hip-hop performer signed a national letter of intent to attend USC on Monday at a news conference held at a posh hotel near Beverly Hills.
Lil' Romeo, an actor and rapper whose full name is Percy Romeo Miller, is currently a senior guard at Beverly Hills High. He 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.


My take:

I had heard rumors that this kid was nice, but I didnt know he was this good. Getting a scholarship to USC is no small feat. I cant wait to see him play with Mr. Mayo next year. How crazy would that be if he was good enough to go pro? Im old enough to remember the days when Master P had a ten day contract with a couple NBA teams about 10 years ago. Guess he passed his "skills" on to his son. Stay tuned.

Till next time....
