Top-20 high school junior basketball prospect Vyctorius Miller is making visit to KU

Vyctorius Miller, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound junior basketball point guard/shooting guard from Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona, is on an unofficial recruiting visit to Kansas this weekend.

Miller — the son of No Limit hip hop artist Vyshonn Miller (“Silkk the Shocker”) — is ranked No. 14 in the recruiting class of 2024 by 247sports.com, No. 17 by ESPN.com and No. 23 by Rivals.com.

He is originally from Southern California. He averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game his sophomore season at Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, California.

The West Coast Elite AAU player is also being recruited by Kansas State, Missouri, UCLA, USC, Memphis, Texas Tech, LSU, Arizona, Arizona State, Syracuse, Georgetown, Auburn, Arkansas, Oklahoma State and others.

NBAdraftroom.com has issued a scouting report on Miller: “He is a high level combo guard prospect who projects as a high major recruit and future NBA player. He’s already pushing 6-5 with great athleticism and a smooth game. He’s got a high level of polish on the offensive end, able to score from three levels and create offense at will. Vyctorius is one to watch over the next few years as he moves through the high school ranks and his college recruiting heats up.”

Of KU, Miller told arizona.rivals.com: “They (coaches) are just telling me to keep up the good work, keep getting stronger and never be satisfied. It’s a good program. Kansas is a blueblood and you don’t have to say much else. Just that – a blueblood.”

Miller’s uncle is No Limit rap artist Master P.

“It’s a blessing to be in this position. My dad always reminds me of that,” Vyctorius Miller told SI.com. “My family always preaches tunnel vision, to block out the outside noise.”

Miller’s dad told SI.com his son is “in the lane to be great” based on his work ethic.

“A true point that runs a team, scores and does whatever it takes to win,” Vyshonn said of his son. “He sees himself as a pro and he works at it. I see the same because he puts the time in to one day be that. He’s mature enough to balance life on the court and off because he knows what he wants and what it takes. Even though he’s my son and I’ve been in the spotlight, he is comfortable because he knows it’s about him making a name and a way for himself. I’m proud of him on so many levels, but especially the fact that he works for it.”
