Mercy Miller, Master P’s son, transfers to Oak Hill

Master P’s son transferred to national powerhouse Oak Hill last week.

Mercy Miller, the son of rapper and successful businessman Percy Miller, who is better known as Master P, made waves in September with his commitment to play for Kelvin Sampson at Houston.

Now, he’s back in the news for another basketball-related decision.

Miller transferred from Minnehaha Academy — the home of Chet Holmgren and Jalen Suggs — to national powerhouse Oak Hill Academy (Va.) last week. Oak Hill is off to a rough start against a national schedule this season, but Miller should help bolster Steve Smith’s rotation as a versatile 6-foot-4 guard.

Miller was averaging over 20 points per game for Minnehaha Academy before deciding to transfer. He made his Oak Hill debut over the weekend at the Spalding Hoophall Classic.

Miller is now part of a loaded Oak Hill rotation that features five-star Duke commit Caleb Foster, five-star Kentucky commit Chris Livingston, four-star LSU commit Devin Ree, three-star Duke commit Christian Reeves and former four-star Pittsburgh pledge Judah Mintz.

Miller is still committed to Houston and that does not figure to change despite his newfound presence at a national powerhouse, which will naturally put more eyeballs on him as his high school career progresses.

“Growing up he was able to go to a lot of the games and see a lot of the greats play there and Coach Sampson he is a man of his word,” Percy Miller told 247Sports after his son’s commitment. “He’s building a great program and by the time Mercy graduates he’ll be a big part of that.”

Mercy Miller, Master P’s son, commits to Houston

The son of Master P committed to Houston earlier this week.

Mercy Miller, the son of rapper and successful businessman Percy Miller, who is better known as Master P, made the decision to wrap up his recruitment in its infant stages earlier this week.

Miller, a 6-foot-4 guard out of Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota, took an unofficial visit to Houston last week and committed shortly thereafter. Miller’s JL3 Elite travel team is based out of Houston and Miller spent time growing up in the area, both of which played a major role in his decision to commit to Kelvin Sampson’s program.

“Growing up he was able to go to a lot of the games and see a lot of the greats play there and Coach Sampson he is a man of his word,” Percy Miller told 247Sports. “He’s building a great program and by the time Mercy graduates he’ll be a big part of that.”

Miller picked Houston over offers from Hampton and Minnesota.

“Mercy has made his name for himself and that’s what it is about,” Miller said. “I’m a businessman, my son is a basketball player and he is a student-athlete and I’m going to support him. He gets up at five in the morning every day and works to do what he’s got to do.”

Hercy Miller, Master P’s son and Tennessee State commit, signs lucrative endorsement deal

Hercy Miller, Tennessee State basketball commit and the son of rapper Master P, signed a lucrative endorsement deal Friday.

The name, image and likeness era in college athletics is just beginning, but Hercy Miller, a Tennessee State basketball commit and the son of rapper Master P, is not wasting any time cashing in on his brand.

According to his father, Miller has signed a lucrative $2 million sponsorship deal with Web Apps America. Miller is set to take his talents to Tennessee State in the fall after playing alongside Chet Holmgren and Minnehaha Academy this past season.

“It’s incredible,” Master P told TMZ Sports. “This is gonna change the way college athletes want to stay in school.”

Miller’s deal with Web Apps American had been in the works for a while, according to his father. However, the two sides had to hold off until NIL rulings became official to announce the partnership.

Name, image and likeness — NIL — is any compensation a player can derive from their own personal brand. Under the new rules, schools and the NCAA are not allowed to pay players and players are expected to land partnerships on their own without the use of their school’s name, image and likeness.

Miller, a 6-foot-3, 160-pound point guard, received offers from LSU, Missouri, UCLA and USC before picking Tennessee State in March. Miller originally grew up in Southern California, but he and his family moved to Minnesota last fall to be closer to a family member dealing with an illness. Prior to his stint at Minnehaha Academy, Miller attended Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian High School.

“I signed a deal with an American technology company,” Miller said. “Like my dad said, it’s a blessing.”
