Five-Star Pittsburgh Native Meleek Thomas Sets Commitment Date

Published

on

Five-star guard prospect Meleek Thomas will choose between Arkansas, Pitt, and UConn on Nov. 11 for his college commitment.

Meleek Thomas’ commitment is coming soon.

The five-star prospect has set his commitment date for Nov. 11, as first reported by Joe Tipton of On3. A source close to Thomas confirmed the date to Pittsburgh Sports Now.

Five Star Meleek Thomas Cuts List to Three: Is Pitt In?

Thomas, a 6-foot-4 guard, is ranked as the No. 7 player in the country for the class of 2025, per 247 Sports’ Composite Rankings. Thomas began his high-school career at Lincoln Park in the WPIAL before making the decision to transfer down to Atlanta to join Overtime Elite for his final season before college ball. Thomas announced on Monday, via Tipton, that he will choose between Pitt, Arkansas, and UConn in Nov. 11’s ceremony.

The highly-touted guard won back-to-back WPIAL and PIAA titles last high-school season as a sophomore and junior at Lincoln Park, averaging 22.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. He has been a significant Pitt target since early in his high school career and has been to numerous games over the past few seasons alongside former teammate and current Pitt guard Brandin Cummings.

Pitt has one commitment in the 2025 class, and that is from Omari Witherspoon. He verbally committed to the Panthers after visiting during the offseason. He plays his high-school ball for St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C. — the same high school that current Pitt Panther guard Ishmael Leggett played prep ball for.

Stay tuned on Pittsburgh Sports Now for more on Thomas’ recruitment and for year-round coverage of Pitt basketball and recruiting.

Our coverage continues Tuesday night, as PSN will be in attendance for Pitt WBB’s season opener against Canisius.

He didn’t. He has signed several four star players even without much nil money to offer. With our new A.D. , we will begin to land many more.

Money is not the issue. He will get what he wants from All three of the finalists. It comes down to where he wants to play. Whatever happens, Pitt has done a great job and has nothing to be ashamed of.

Think about what you’re saying. Do you honestly think Pitt can compete with Arkansas and UConn in the NIL game? Not a chance.

Money is the issue! You’re talking millions of dollars, not a few thousand.

Totally agree. He ain’t coming to Pitt. Zero chance. We are a distant third.
