2025 Recruiting: Meleek Thomas to UConn Crystal Ball

[HuskyFich]

It's AAU, not HS. Ball movement is reluctant at best. The team game is way better during the HS season. We'll see much better system ball when he's with OTE this year.

Very good point. That AAU ball movement is painful.

Any idea when he is announcing?

Silence is deafening. If I'm Cal-I'm not sleeping good at night re: Meleek

his dream school growing up was duke.

 

[LetsGoUC]

this commitment is gonna hit like crack

 

[TheHorde]

If he has kids, I bet their dream school will be UConn

 

[ScottCT]

He still hasn't scheduled anymore visits after us. My optimism is through the roof with this one.

We're like the New England Patriots of college basketball. There weren't any fans nationally until Brady and then suddenly they were everywhere. Except we don't rely on one player or coach for longevity.

The Patriots were beloved at the early stages of their dynasty. But some people do get sick of dynasties and having the same team always come out on top. We shall see if UConn becomes a dynasty and how folks would react to that.

Not so sure anything basketball related is affecting Cal’s sleep these days.

Arkansas is on his list. Is he the type of player that is going to go to whatever school offers the biggest NIL package?
I think for UConn to get a top player like this they have to be someone who wants to learn from Hurley and UConn system, and prioritizes that over max NIL package. There is always going to be some bag of money somewhere that is larger.

 

[DemonDeac22]

You continue being a pessimist. I’ll balance it with my optimism.

And both of you should come visit me in Switzerland this summer, where I’m feeling neutral…

 

[Kenny11]

Looks like a scoring machine

Can anyone hazard a guess why we haven’t heard any news about Meleek? It’s been two weeks. What’s the holdup?

Per the article, he wants to announce before school starts so it should be within a month or two.
Cassidy also thinks we are the leaders at this time. Hopefully,Meleek never makes it to Fayetteville.

Ranking the Contenders: Five-star Meleek Thomas

He's already making NIL money. Partly why he transferred to OTE.

Sorry for being on topic

We’ll forgive you this one time,

Aaron sure used a lot of words to say he’s betting on UConn!

Amazing how these guys can turn a paragraph of information into a 15 minute video.

Was able to do it without discussing pizza advantages in Connecticut. When he went to “A beer in the hand is better than” I thought he was heading that way.

That was painful to watch. It was like watching Ralphie in Christmas Story writing his essay on what he wanted for Christmas. And believing it was an A+++++ when in fact it was lousy.

I did like his going into detail on why he thinks Meleek is coming here. Any nugget of news is better than radio silence.

Didn’t he already visit Arkansas after UConn?
