The rap mogul, Master P is surely proud of his son, Mercy Miller, after he shattered school records. At Notre Dame High School, the 4-star guard prospect broke the school’s all-time record by scoring 68 points (28/38 FG) against Oakwood in a 104-44 victory. Mercy instantly shot to fame, proving he’s the true alpha of the team.

The news went to every nook and corner of the country and attracted a lot of fanfare for the Houston commit. But not many knew that it was completely obvious for Mercy to slosh such high points. His previous performances told a story of a player who would not be subdued by anyone in school.

Miller has previously come into the spotlight when he was playing against the Bronny James’ Sierra Canyon High School. The Notre Dame had locked horns with the Canyon in February this year.

The highlight of the match was when Miller slammed a dunk while moving into the lane and taking off on a high jump just on his one foot. The Notre demolished their opponents by an 88-61 margin.

Miller’s father, Master P, was extremely pleased with his performance and so were the spectators, who jumped in joy seeing Mercy finish the dunk. “Hard work pays off. The beast came out and showed ‘NO MERCY.”, Mercy’s father shared on his social networking platform Instagram page.

Miller had also received a lot of acclaim when in his first sophomore game he besotted a humongous 40 points. The then 16-year-old was plying his trade for the Minnehaha Academy when he outclassed his opponents – the Apple Valley, with his exemplary performance.

Miller displayed his flurry of attacking skills, sometimes coming near the rim while at other times enchanting all with his perimeter antiques. He also shot a few mid-range jumpers. The University of Houston commit propelled his team to an 83-62 win over the Apple Valley.

Miller had previously also divulged his reason for choosing Houston because of the “connection” he felt with Coach Kelvin Sampson. It was his relationship with the 68-year-old that led him to choose Houston.

Mercy is ranked as the No. 18 best shooting guard recruit of 2024 as per 247Sports.com. Overall, for his junior year, Miller played a total of 32 games, with 17.1 points on average, 3.1 assists per contest, and 8.8 rebounds per match. Proving his mettle, the best of Miller was yet to come. 

Miller soused a record-breaking 68 points against the Oakwood on Monday. He provided the impetus for his team to win the contest by a high margin of 104-44. The four-star recruit hooped 28 of 38 field goal attempts that have got his team Notre Dame on an undefeated 7-0 streak. 

The Knights in another game had recently upended the Venice Gondoliers by a huge margin of 88-39 in which Mercy had stunned all with his dunks and steals. His potential can be gauged from the fact that even LeBron’s younger son Bryce James often posts stories about Miller and he recently did the same when Mercy binned the record 68 points.
