Meleek Thomas, the No. 7 prospect in ESPN’s class of 2025, is making the move from Lincoln Peak Performing Arts High School in Pittsburgh to sign with Overtime Elite.
Reflecting on his decision, Thomas shared, “I did everything I needed to do where I’m from. We won back-to-back state championships. Now it’s time to be seen by NBA personnel, GMs, scouts, the people that you need to be in front of. At OTE, they get your name out. Everything they do goes around the world. I want to be broadcasted more.”
Thomas revealed his upcoming official visits to UConn and Arkansas later this month. Additionally, he is receiving heavy interest from schools like Kansas, Auburn, Pitt, Alabama, Kansas State, Indiana, Tennessee, Miami, and others.
Commenting on the surprising news of Dan Hurley potentially leaving UConn for the Los Angeles Lakers, Thomas admitted, “I didn’t expect that; it just popped up. He ended up turning it down, which must mean something. That definitely makes UConn more attractive now. With all the money he was offered, he’s still committed to the school he built up. Being highly recruited by him means they are serious. That’s the message I got.”
