Five-star guard Meleek Thomas is down to seven schools, he told ZAGSBLOG.
The 6-foot-4 guard from Overtime Elite is considering Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas, Kansas State, Pittsburgh and UConn, as first reported by On3.com.
Thomas canceled an official visit to Arkansas scheduled in June but will reschedule it for September. He would also like to see Kansas and Alabama coming up.
Here is his quick breakdown of a few schools:
Kansas: “They have a winning background. They bring straight winners there. They get their players to the league. They have a lot of TV games. The environment of the crowd, which I’ve seen, and how they let their guards rock, it could be a spot for me for sure.”
Alabama: “It’s a guard heavy school. They let their guards rock obviously. A lot of people know they don’t let their guards take a lot of mid-ranges. But they let their guards hoop. They work through their bigs. They work through their guards. And they get to it. So I want to go to a school where I can be comfortable and get to it.”
UConn ( which his recently visited):
“It was a very good visit,” Thomas told ZAGSBLOG. “They back-to-back champs so you really can’t not look into it or not want to go. So I got there, everything was good. They showed a lot of hospitality. Like I got the family vibe right when I got there. So they showed love, showed me around, showed me everything.”
Thomas continued: “They showed me what everything is going to be like if I were to potentially go there. And just trying to put me in a position — putting me into a position where I see myself being there without me being there — if you get that. So yeah I rocked with it. I rocked with the family vibe. I rock with the winning. I win a lot. So I rocked with the winning mentality that they brought onto me. I just felt good when I was there.”
