[Hey Adrien!]

 

[Drame]

Not sure why he would want to go Overtime Elite. Do they play competitive games? Or do they just scrimmage against themselves?

 

[aburks41]

Lol this kid is 100% committing to UConn

They play against all the top high school and prep teams

OTE kids with good pedigree have done pretty well in college and the pros.

This is a lock if I've ever seen a lock.

Are we saying that UConn is evolving from a program that recruits their athletes to one that chooses?

 

[AntG168]

Let’s get a commitment on the visit. Great way to start the class

What’s the reason kids go to OTE?

 

[MrJama100]

Who's DH with? I see his brother behind them.

What’s the reason kids go to OTE?

"I did everything I needed to do where I'm from," Thomas said. "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."

Kimani is next to him and Luke is in the row in front of him

In other photos, it looked like Nate Oats was also near him. I think he is the guy in red behind him.

 

[NJHoops]

Other than his own guys, he usually ends up with Bobby or Nate Oats and Preston Murphy, who he worked with at URI, at these recruiting events.

 

[Gutter King]

Us being the "it" school...one helluva serious case of imposter syndrome!

 

[FreeKlaiber]

I love this clip...getting into it with Carmelo's kid a bit, and then calling him out to D up while shooting free throw. I like that little edge. He reminds me a little bit of Halliburton for some reason- rangy, quick release, finishes with both hands

 

[husky429]

What I've been most impressed with after watching maybe 6 of his games is his underrated passing. Has a ton of high level reads and is getting solid assist #s despite not being the primary facilitator in Eybl

For my second game of the morning session, I settled in to watch the "Pacers" and the "Warriors" and I was rewarded with a great camp game after enduring the early morning debacle. In a game that came down to the very final possession, as five-star Meleek Thomas scored 25 for the Pacers as they edged Chris Cenac (24 points) and the Warriors 118-117.

On the day that he announced his transfer to Overtime Elite, Thomas was as good as we have seen him over the past few months. The Pittsburgh native is a pure scorer who has never been afraid to let shots fly. On Tuesday he found the perfect marriage between his aggressive shot hunting and when to dial things back a bit and defer to others. When he was aggressive, though, it was super impressive. He hit deep jumpers and floaters but it's his ability to create space off the dribble that is really a separator for him. He had a spectacular drive and dunk followed by a crazy, full-speed, lefty runner he kissed off the glass to beat the third quarter buzzer.

There were plenty of coaches on hand for this one including UConn's Danny Hurley (on Thomas watch), his brother Bobby Hurley of Arizona State, Mike Young of Virginia Tech, Ben Johnson of Virginia, Kyle Smith of Stanford, Danny Sprinkle of Washington, Sean Miller of Xavier, Rick Barnes of Tennessee and Nate Oats of Alabama.
