The state of Pennsylvania’s top recruit for the 2025 recruiting cycle was impressed with his recent visit to Auburn.
Meleek Thomasa five-star point guard from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently traveled south to Auburn for his official visit and was pleased with Bruce Pearlwill to win. He also learned a lot about Auburn’s culture.
In a follow-up interview with On3’s Jamie ShawThomas says he was “intrigued” by Auburn’s family atmosphere.
“I never heard much about them growing up unless they had a great player, but they really are a family there. The players, the coaching staff, the fans, everyone is one. I never knew that,” Thomas said. “When I went there, everything was just ‘Auburn basketball, Auburn basketball.’ And they’re known for football, so to go there and see so much Auburn basketball was just intriguing.”
Along with Auburn, Thomas made official visits to Kentucky and Pittsburgh. He is scheduled to visit UConn and Arkansas this month, and plans to explore Kansas, Tennesseeand Miami too. He tells Shaw that he does not have a deadline for announcing his commitment, as he wants to find the right fit that includes a “genuine coaching team” and “winning players”.
