Mercy Miller is stepping into the spotlight as he gears up for his second season with the Houston Cougars, and the excitement is palpable! The son of rap legend Master P, Mercy is receiving high praise from none other than Cougars icon Otis Birdsong, who believes this kid is destined for greatness. Birdsong mentioned that Miller has matured during his freshman year and is now ready to fight for a starting position. If that’s not pressure, I don’t know what is!
Last year, Mercy played in 22 games and, according to Birdsong, absorbed all that he could from coach Kelvin Sampson. Now, he’s coming back “tougher” and more dedicated than ever. Birdsong didn’t hold back when he said Miller is one of the team’s best shooters—talk about a vote of confidence! If he delivers, he might just make a name for himself beyond being “Master P’s kid.”
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; Birdsong also weighed in on this year’s draft pick, Cooper Flagg. While he acknowledged Flagg’s talent, he urged everyone to chill on the MVP hype. After all, a season is a marathon, not a sprint, right? With Mercy’s roots and Birdsong’s support, it looks like we’re in for a thrilling season ahead, so grab your popcorn!
