Being the son of a famous father has it’s perks, but it isn’t always easy. This winter, class of 2021 combo guard Hercy Miller, the son of rap mogul Master P, of Minneapolis (Minn.) Minnehaha Academy, has been busy establishing his own identity as a high major prospect on a loaded high school team.

Playing alongside 2020 five-star point guard Jalen Suggs, 2021 five-star big man Chet Holmgren and 2022 four-star forward Prince Aligbe, Miller has carved out a niche as an athletic combo guard who can score at all three levels.

“(Miller) is one of the best on-ball defenders in the country played his role with Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren and fit in well,” Team Sizzle program director Brian Sandifer told Rivals.com. “Brought a defensive toughness to our program and his ability to score the basketball is underrated. (He) runs the team well and is an above average athlete with the ability to score it from all three levels. Enjoys physical play and contact will be leading the charge with Chet and Prince Aligbe as the point guard this year. Schools love his ability to guard and distribute at the right time off the bounce.”

Miller has landed scholarship offers from Missouri, Morgan State, UCLA and Western Kentucky, while many others including Georgetown, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue are keeping close tabs.

I don't believe he has a list, but he got a Georgetown offer in August 2018. He just got a UNC offer a couple weeks ago and they're the favorite. I think he's had unofficial visits to UNC and NC State.

So, if he signs with UNC, that's the open scholarship that might have gone to Walton.

Since he's 2021 I don't think it has an effect on the Walton recruitment.

Really good player (Ranked 62 on 247, 53 on Rivals). I've been hoping we'd offer for a long time and I'm glad we finally did. I just wish we hadn't let several of our conference mates (Xavier, Marquette, UConn) beat us to offering a kid in our own backyard. He's got good length for his position, solid athleticism, plays both ways and maybe most importantly, he can shoot. I've thought it was pretty clear he'd be a high major player since he was at Gaithersburg last season. Where have we been? Xavier offered him last September. In an interview two weeks ago he said that "Xavier, Seton Hall, George Washington, Marquette and Memphis" were some of the schools prioritizing him. There's still plenty of time for us to make up ground, but my confidence level that we'll actually be able to based on recent returns is waning. Hopefully he wants to stay home.

I watched the WCAC championship and didn't really know any of the players other than Timberlake, Roach, Kiels & Dickinson (hate that kids game and think he will stink). Hawkins stood out to me and I really little fast guard from Paul, McDaniel?. I hope we press on those two as they would be key foundational & local pieces.

Your thoughts are exactly why the staff's recruiting has been questioned by more and more people since the season ended.

Local. Talented. As far as I can tell, not an under-the-radar late-bloomer type. No concern as far as 1 and done goes.

Where have we been? What is our local recruiter doing?

Unrelated but Jay WRight was at that game, Roy Williams the night before, I saw Tony Skinn and Terrell Allen too. Wright is clearly pressing for Kiels but McDaniel & Hawkins are who we should have been pressing for and I hope we do.
