Meleek Thomas, one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, has scheduled two official visits. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard out of Lincoln Park (PA) will make a trip to see Dan Hurley and UConn on June 19-21, followed up by a trip to Arkansas and new coach John Calipari on June 25-27.

The Five-Star Plus+ rising senior has already taken official visits to Pitt, Kentucky (old staff), Auburn, and unofficial visits to Penn State, Indiana, and Villanova.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Thomas is the No. 6 overall player in the nation in the 2025 cycle. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

“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
