Miller, the son of rap mogul Percy Miller (better known as Master P), started off his career at Windward before transferring to Beverly Hills. After averaging 8.6 points per game as a senior, Romeo accepted a controversial scholarship offer to USC which was reportedly linked to his good friend and super-recruit, Compton High's DeMar DeRozan.
Then-USC coach Tim Floyd
told the Wall Street Journal, "Percy Miller called while driving both players from a tournament in Fayetteville, Ark. Percy Miller said 'DeMar and Romeo are ready to make their decision, and would you like to have them both on scholarship?' I said absolutely."
Miller went on to play sparingly for the Trojans in two seasons (nine games, 19 total minutes) before leaving the team. DeRozan recently completed his fourth season with the Toronto Raptors, in which he averaged just more than 18 points per game.
