Newsstand: Five-star+ guard Meleek Thomas considering official visit to Michigan
Tweets Of The Day
Five-star+ recruit Meleek Thomas — a shooting guard ranked the No. 6 overall recruit in the 2025 class per the On3 Industry Ranking — is looking to schedule additional official visits. Michigan will possibly receive one, along with Pittsburgh, Tennessee, UConn, Kansas, Kansas State and Duke.
Meleek Thomas, one of the top shooting guard prospects in the 2025 class, is in the midst of the recruiting process. To this point, he’s taken two official visits — Auburn and Kentucky.
However, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound junior out of Lincoln Park (PA) is no where close being done with college trips. He tells On3 he’s looking to schedule possibly seven more official visits before coming to a decision. Those schools that the Five-Star Plus+ recruit would like to see are as follows — Pittsburgh, Tennessee, UConn, Michigan, Kansas, Kansas State, and Duke.
Thomas, ranked 6th nationally in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings, announced his top 12 schools in September. The 12 schools are Kansas State, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, Auburn, Tennessee, UConn, Pittsburgh, Michigan, Miami, 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. “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.”
Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy said that Michigan’s Roman Wilson boosted his stock during the week of the all-star game more than any other wide receiver.
Former Michigan pitcher Tommy Henry got the nod as the spring training opening day starter for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’s competing with Ryne Nelson for the final spot in Arizona’s rotation for the regular season. Henry pitched in 17 games with 16 starts last season, logging 89 innings. He allowed 41 earned runs, 86 hits and 12 home runs.
Quote Of The Day
“He’s been there, done that as a player. He’s articulate, he’s smart and he works his ass off. You start mixing all of those things, on top of the fact that he knows where these kids are growing up and where they’re coming from, and he can see through their lens as a player in his background … and that’s not a shock to me at all that he’s the best recruiter on the staff because of those attributes.”
