It's a rap: 'Romeo' Miller commits to Trojans
Last year Tim Floyd made headlines when he signed O.J. Mayo, the top player in the nation. This time around the USC coach has a commitment from one of the top rappers in the country.
This isn't a joke, either.

The 6-foot music star/actor and son of Master P was one of three players that committed to Floyd and the Trojans on Friday. Demar Derozan and Angelo Johnson, a pair of Scout.com's Top 100 players in the Class of 2008, joined Miller in giving a pledge to USC.
Miller averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists per game at Beverly Hills High as a junior this past season and more than held his own last summer at the ABCD Camp in New Jersey.
"He's got a lot to prove because of his name," said Derozan, who will join his best friend at USC after he finished his high school career at Compton Dominguez (Calif.) High. "He's no gimmick. He can play and is going to be one of the top point guards in the 2008 class."
Miller, 17, took the trip to USC on Friday along with his summer teammate, athletic wing Derozan, and the pair both told Floyd and his staff that they will be coming after they graduate.
"It's great for him," said Master P, who coaches his son and Derozan on the P. Miller Ballers in the spring and summer. "USC is a great school and I felt like he made a great decision."
The younger Miller will focus solely on school and basketball for the next few years, according to Master P.
"He can be polishing up his film career at USC," Master P said. "When he's finished after four years at 21 or 22 years old, he'll hopefully be able to take either basketball to the next level or Hollywood to the next level."
"This is what it's all about," he added. "I'm just glad he has the opportunity to do both."
The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Derozan is one of the best players on the west coast and ranks 46th nationally in Scout.com's rankings of the top junior players in the country.
"It's a good program, a building program and it's been a school I've loved for a while," Derozan said. "They've been interested in me for a while."
Floyd has also received a commitment from Johnson (Scout.com, No. 85), a 5-foot-11 Minnesota native who spent this past season at Stoneridge Prep (Calif.). According to sources, there's a chance that Johnson could become eligible to play next season.

lil romeo
hahahahaha
all usc needs now is lil bow wow and aaron carter
He must be pretty good if he is going to play there, should be intresting
either that or he and his buddy are a package deal. the article didn't say much about lil romeo's playing ability.
hes good but not noteworthy as a signee, the story is his romeoness
in comparision aggy should have like 5 nathan walkup threads
Lil' Romeo? You mean this Lil' Romeo?
Doesn't Master P have eligibility left? And Silkk ... The ... Shocker ain't half ... bad ... ya heard.
Master P was a Division I player (University of Houston), before blowing out his knee. Not surprising that his kid is good enough to play NCAA ball too.
Yeah, he almost made the Raptors in '99 I think. Didn't the Spurs play against him in a preseason game and he hit a three?
Master P was actually pretty good. I don't know if Beno is better.
sweet as sweet.
Wow how ing re ed. You guys see this lil during the AS Break? Um, my has more skills than he does at ball.
This seriously is making the radio and tv all day just laugh. 10,000 jokes later it's still funny. USC = re ed doing this. Seriously ing dumb.
I played with his uncle Silkk the Shocker a few times when I lived in New Orleans. Silkk is something like 6-5. I think Master P is 6-3 or 6-4. So, Romeo still has room to grow a few inches if he can live up to his genes, which could help him a lot. By the way, Silkk ... horrible basketball player. But, then again, that was several years ago
In other news, Arkansas coach John Pelphrey has signed Michael Jordan's sons and Brutalis is ecstatic....
I did read on another messageboard (so I don't know how accurate) that Romeo is considered a 2 star recruit. Name recognition would appear to be good for the program. Even if he's just an average college player, there are plenty of advantages to signing him in terms of getting USC basketball some pub. Maybe Romeo will start dating Paris Hilton too.
The kid only averaged 13 points/game last year... However I heard he did a good job at the ABCD camp last summer.
w...o...w!
a) I played with him at UCLA, he is TERRIBLE. His bouncer, "Tank" set picks by throwing elbows and knocking people over.
b) What a joke, his Dad obviously donated $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
c) When I was playing with him at UCLA, he airballed his first shot, then made one after and ran down the court screamin "Thank youuuuuuu!" Lame.
who cares, its not like he is ever going to play when it matters. then again, maybe he turns into a good player...some people are late bloomers.
I think your thinking of BowWow
