Life is Good: Lil Romeo

When the discussion comes up about who is currently living the American dream, you would be hard pressed to exclude Lil Romeo from that conversation. Everybody loves to talk about Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Leonardo DiCaprio etc (for good reason), but life really doesn’t get much better than that of Master P’s son.

At only 18 years old, Romeo has quite a resume. Among the accomplishments: Rapper, CEO of a clothing line, actor and a feature on MTV cribs. It’s now time to add to one more feat to that list: college basketball player. Yesterday, Romeo signed a national letter of intent to attend USC in the fall, on a full ride.

The 5’9 point guard (although he’s listed at 6’0) averaged 13.9 points and 5.6 assists as a Junior at Beverly Hills High School, not exactly a basketball powerhouse.

Having seen him play on multiple occasions, we are talking about a legitimate Division 2 or 3 prospect, certainly not USC worthy. Romeo is set to join close friend Demar Derozan who also committed to USC and is one of the top 5 prospects in the Sr. class.

If they added Romeo as a package deal to get DeRozan, it’s worth the scholarship.
