One of Percy “Master P” Miller’s sons, Hercy Miller, has joined the UNO men’s basketball team as a midseason addition after being deemed eligible by the NCAA.
One the most well-known music and entertainment moguls from New Orleans, Master P is in his first season as UNO’s president of basketball operations. Hercy joined UNO’s roster ahead of last Saturday’s game and saw playing time in a 75-64 win over Northwestern State.
Hercy is in his fifth year of Division I college basketball after transferring to UNO from Southern Utah. He’d “been dealing with the NCAA since the beginning of the school year to get his year back” according to an Instagram post by Master P on Sunday.

The post said that Hercy, “lost two years of college basketball due to a season-ending hip injury. He tried to play through the pain one year at Louisville. After his surgery, this challenging process took a toll on him physically and mentally.”
Hercy played for Tennessee State as a freshman and transferred to Louisville the next year, where he played for two years before landing at Southern Utah.
Master P’s post concluded with, “today, we made history as a family. Me, coming from hip hop being able to coach my son in a Division I basketball game is a monumental blessing.”
Listed as a 6-foot-3 guard, Hercy played two minutes and had an assist on Saturday against Northwestern State. He averaged 7.2 points per game in 26 games last season at Southern Utah.
Hercy’s younger brother, Mercy Miller, also plays Division I basketball and is currently a sophomore at the University of Houston, which is ranked No. 10 in the nation.
