Visiting Auburn, Michigan, UK and Alabama.
Are we officially out now?
Probably, but he was at the Canisius game this past weekend.Visiting Auburn, Michigan, UK and Alabama.

what list? the next three places he is going to?We all know its impossible to beat basketball juggernauts Alabama and Auburn for WPIAL players.
If anyone wants to know why the SEC has surpassed the ACC, this is one example. Kid grows up in Pittsburgh, not one ACC school on his list.

I’m not sure if Thomas will take an official here…but I’m not sure if whether he takes an official visit here or not makes much of a difference in our chances.Officials???

I think it’s always been like that though. Besides Cam Johnson, was Yuri Demetrius the last top WPIAL player to come to Pitt out of high school.We all know its impossible to beat basketball juggernauts Alabama and Auburn for WPIAL players.

Not sure if the Canisius game was an official. He was sitting with Cummings.Officials???
Meleek Thomas is supposed to be trimming his final school list in the near future, possibly by months end.
Considering he has been to 3 Pitt games this year already with Brandin Cummings and over 10 Pitt games last year, Pitt will be making the next list cut for Thomas.
If Capel can’t sway him from going Deep South, I don’t know what can. Hot coeds and hot weather, but still rural south. I’d rather Auburn and Alabama be on the list than Duke or Kansas. In addition to money, kids want to win. Those programs have been more successful recently, but another tourney appearance this year for Pitt and that equals out. A fun offense. Playing in front of family. They need to show they can develop Bub. But give Bubs bag to Maleek and they are likely in the discussion. These kids are more apt to remember 0-19 than the 1 seeds given how young they are (was probably what 5-6 during 2011 run?). They need to have memories of Pitt actually winning.Alabama and Auburn though?

he's talking about players that went to pitt, not one that are going to go to pitt in the future..Check the incoming freshmen
Of course you are positive he will be that good!He is going to be in college for a couple months. Won't even have to go to class the 2nd semester and will leave campus the second the season ends. I dont think the weather or coeds are going to factor in.

Ryan luther was a hampton guy and of course Dejuan blair..
Nobody knows because can’t miss kids miss all the time. But he’s got the profile where they should go all out and do everything they can to get him. And I can’t imagine they aren’t.Of course you are positive he will be that good!
I was going to bring up Blair, but I suspected it was a baiting post as Blair was City league ( I think).
Can’t believe Blair slipped my mind! Good call on Luther too.he's talking about players that went to pitt, not one that are going to go to pitt in the future..

He's the ninth ranked prospect in an absolutely loaded classOf course you are positive he will be that good!

Doesn’t mean squat in real life.He's the ninth ranked prospect in an absolutely loaded class

I think Pitt should give Meleek Thomas one million dollars for nine months of his trouble.He will get upwards of 1 million dollars in NIL, go to the highest bidder, and be in the NBA 9 months later. He is the protypical NBA guard with a great head on his shoulders and very humble.
I would expect Kentucky to land him.

Yes! Maybe we can pull a Dodgers move and defer the money until 10 years from now, too! 😁😄The kid is the real deal. Do whatever it takes!!
Just take the Hinson retention money and give it to Bub unless he’s a no brainer first rounder. Then, take the Bub retention money and give it to Meleek.I think they should too.

Bub would be a junior when Meleek was a freshmen.Just take the Hinson retention money and give it to Bub unless he’s a no brainer first rounder. Then, take the Bub retention money and give it to Meleek.
I guess I mean more that we’ll be fortunate if we get a second year out of Bub in 2024-25. I don’t really see a scenario where we get a third year out of him, which would create a pretty seamless transition to Meleek, both from a lineup perspective and a NIL investment perspective.Bub would be a junior when Meleek was a freshmen.
And I’d still take freshmen Meleek over junior Bub.
Will you be increasing your donations to 412 to help land him?$1 million isnt much. We paid Jurkovec $200K and are paying 3-9 football players to stat. We can't get outbid. Kentucky is hard to beat for WPIAL players though. They stockpile them down there.
