The Tar Heels just landed a game-changing piece for their future—and the rest of college basketball should take notice
Five-star guard Meleek Thomas, one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, has committed to North Carolina, giving head coach Hubert Davis a major recruiting victory. Hailing from Pennsylvania, Thomas is known for his elite athleticism, dynamic scoring ability, and fierce competitiveness—traits that could make him the next breakout star in Chapel Hill.
Ranked No. 6 overall and the No. 2 shooting guard in the 2025 class according to 247Sports Composite, Thomas chose UNC over top-tier programs like Kentucky, UConn, and Arkansas. His decision reflects not only his belief in what Carolina is building, but also in Hubert Davis’s long-term vision for the program.
Standing at 6-foot-4, Thomas brings a rare blend of shot-making, defensive toughness, and leadership on the floor—qualities Tar Heel fans have been craving since the days of Coby White and Caleb Love. He has the kind of talent that can take over a game while still elevating his teammates.
He’s already built strong ties with the coaching staff, and his commitment could help UNC gain momentum with other top 2025 recruits—such as fellow five-star targets Koa Peat and Caleb Wilson. Buzz is building fast in Chapel Hill.
More than just a highly ranked recruit, Thomas brings the kind of fire and winning mindset that fits right into Carolina’s storied basketball tradition. With his commitment, the Tar Heels are once again positioning themselves among the national elite—not just in the ACC, but across the country.
The 2025 class is still unfolding, but one thing is certain: Hubert Davis just landed his guy. And with Thomas in the mix, Carolina’s future is looking brighter—and more dangerous—than ever.
