Top Prospect Commits To University Of New Orleans

In a social media post Friday, a promising high school basketball prospect used Instagram to announce his decision to join the University of New Orleans Privateers under Coach Master P.

Announcement Details

The prospect wrote: ‘After many conversations with Coach @masterp and the privateers staff I’m happy to announce my commitment to The University of New Orleans.’ This announcement marks a major step for the recruit, who has been courted by multiple Division I programs.

Coach Master P’s Role

Percy “Master P” Miller, the famed rapper-turned-entrepreneur, serves as President of Basketball Operations and head coach of the Privateers. Miller, 54, joined the University of New Orleans program last summer, leveraging his entertainment and business background to rebuild the roster and elevate the team’s profile on campus and beyond.

Program Momentum

Earlier this season, the @privateershoops account shared: ‘Family over everything! #NoDaysOff #MakingDeposits #Thisforthecity @privateershoops #NewKidsOnTheBlock Don’t sleep on New Orleans.#504 #nola,’ highlighting a close-knit culture that incoming players will enter. That sense of unity has been a cornerstone of Coach P’s vision as he seeks to foster both performance and community engagement.

The addition of this high-level prospect bolsters the Privateers’ recruiting class ahead of the 2024–25 NCAA season. As UNO readies its roster reveal in the coming weeks, fans are eager to see how the new talent will mesh with Coach Master P’s ambitious rebuild.

Trivia

Master P has collaborated with numerous artists, including Snoop Dogg, Lil' Romeo, and Mia X.
