Meleek Thomas announces commitment to Arkansas for college basketball
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh native and former Lincoln Park standout basketball player Meleek Thomas has announced his commitment to play at the University of Arkansas.
Thomas is a 6’3″, 175 lb. five-star recruit and picked playing for Moon Township native John Calipari at Arkansas over Pitt and Connecticut.
Ranked as one of the top 2025 basketball recruits in the country, Thomas left Lincoln Park to play for Overtime Elite, a semi-professional basketball league based out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Thomas’ commitment was announced Monday evening.
“I plan on being a legend for my city and a legend in the basketball community,” Thomas said at the beginning of the video announcing his choice to attend Arkansas.
“I’m ready for the next chapter on this journey to the NBA,” Thomas added. “Next fall, I’ll be playing at the University of Arkansas.”
Thomas is averaging 25 points per game and 12 rebounds per game through the first two games of his season playing for the City Reapers in the Overtime Elite league.

Five-Star Pittsburgh Guard Meleek Thomas Commits to Arkansas
PITTSBURGH — In front of a crowd of family and friends, five-star prospect Meleek Thomas committed to Arkansas on Monday night.
Thomas chose the Razorbacks and head coach John Calipari over local program Pitt and two-time reigning national champion UConn. Calipari has been recruiting Thomas for years, stopping in to see him numerous times while he was the coach at Kentucky and now since he has taken over at Arkansas.
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.
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 was 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.
However, in the end, Thomas decided to join Calipari and fellow five-star prospect Darius Acuff, who is a top-five player in the class and an Arkansas commit.
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.
