Isn't he like 5'5?
article says he's 6-0 and a top 15 PG
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.
USC confirmed the signings, and announced that Donte Smith, a 5-foot-11 guard who averaged 21.7 points at Mt. San Antonio College last season, had also signed.
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.

but does Lil' Romeo need a scholarship? why don't he just walk on and let them use a scholarship for someone who actually needs it?
13.9 points and 5.6 assists
I don't know much at all about HS basketball but that's good enough to go to USC? Let alone be ranked as a top 15 point guard?
^^^^ What do you mean called him out?
it's a bit of jealousy, but here it is....
At 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, he is undersized even for a point guard, but he can shoot well, has the quickness to get to the basket and a good instinct about where to pass the ball.
Master P attends most games, bringing his entourage in true rapper style.
Sejin Park, who starts at shooting guard for Beverly Hills, said he thought the audience led to Romeo the entertainer taking over for Percy the basketball player too much at times.
"Being in front of his dad and his posse, if you will, seemed to add to him playing a little more selfishly," Park said. "Sometimes, it would be better if he passed the ball a little more. Other times, he'll try to do a little extra going to the basket when two points is two points. I think he needs to get that out of his system and focus on the game instead of what the crowd is telling him."
Turcious said that, in all fairness, Romeo needed to shoot more last season on a mediocre team that finished with a 14-13 record. He's hoping that, next season, Romeo will become more of a facilitator on what is expected to be an improved offense.
Romeo's commitment to USC came as a bit of a surprise. He wasn't considered one of the top-tier talents, like his best friend Demar DeRozan, a Compton High shooting guard who gave his commitment to USC on the same day.
Romeo was being recruited more on the mid-major level.
"A lot of my friends doubt he can be a Pac-10 player," Park said. "He can't really take over a game and doesn't have Division-I level skills yet. But he looks better every time he comes to play. As of right now, I don't see him prospering at the next level."
I seen him at couple years ago at MJFS and he look very short. He was wearing those nasty looking P.MillersOriginally Posted by HarlemToTheBronx

at this site, some of the player's name's arespelled wrong, and failed to mention Scotty Hopson anywhere near the list. And the fact that Lil Romeo is ranked the 15th best player in the country is just
