Five-Star Plus+ SG Meleek Thomas sets official visit to Auburn
Meleek Thomas, one of the top players in the 2025 class, has scheduled an official visit to Auburn the weekend of January 13th.
This will be Thomas’ first official visit. The 6-foot-3 Five-Star Plus+ shooting guard currently has a top 12 of Auburn, Kansas State, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, Tennessee, UConn, Pittsburgh, Michigan, Miami, and Villanova.
Thomas told me last month that he also plans to take visits to Alabama, Kentucky, and Michigan.
Thomas, the No. 6 overall player in the On3 Industry Ranking, has previously taken unofficial visits to Pittsburgh, Indiana, and Villanova.
“I’m already a three-level scorer, but I’m seeing my teammates better when they’re cutting for the ball,” Thomas previously told On3’s Jamie Shaw. “I’m getting to my spots better and scoring easier now. Playing 17u only makes me better. These guys are all going to college next year, so playing up against them improves my game. I take a lot of pieces from a lot of guys in the league. Like Steph Curry for his off-ball movement, LeBron (James) with how dominant he is, and Chris Paul for his point guard skills.”
Meleek Thomas Scouting Report
“Meleek Thomas is a bucket-getter who is wired to score. He is electric when it comes to shooting the ball with range that extends well beyond the three-point arc and the confidence that extends to any level. He has good length with some quick-twitch pop to his game. Thomas is able to carve out space off the bounce. His dribble can get him open, and he has the ability to contort his body to get his shoulders squared upon release. He will need to continue adding weight to his frame. Scoring comes so easily to him, he can get shot happy. Thomas is a good on-ball defender and has natural instincts in the passing lanes. he is tracking as one of the top guards, nationally, in his class.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.
