The Kentucky Wildcats will host a five-star combo guard

The Kentucky Wildcats will have a talented recruit on campus.

Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari is starting to focus on recruiting the 2025 class. 

Calipari is widely considered one of the best recruiters in all of college basketball, as he had the number one class in 2023 and currently has the number two class only behind Duke for 2024. Having the best players and recruiting guys who can really play are two different things, and it seems like Coach Cal did a great job in this regard for the 2023 class. But now Calipari is almost done recruiting the 2024 class and has moved his focus over to the 2025 class. 

One of the players Calipari is focusing on is five-star guard Meleek Thomas, who is ranked as the number six player in the entire 2025 class according to 247Sports composite rankings. Thomas is a 6'4, 175-pound guard who can shoot the ball and get to the rim. Joe Tipton of On3 announced that Thomas plans to visit Kentucky on February 3rd. 

George Michalowski of Pittsburgh Sports Now had this to say about Thomas, "Thomas has had a stellar junior season so far for Lincoln Park that included a triple-double performance in late December in front of Kentucky's head coach John Calipari, a fellow Western Pennsylvania native." 

Kentucky's 2024 class is chalked full of talent all over, with five-star center Jayden Quaintance, five-star point guard Boogie Fland, five-star small forward Billy Richmond, four-star center Somto Cyril, and four-star guard Travis Perry. Now that Coach Calipari has moved his focus to the 2025 class, it's clear that Thomas is a priority for Kentucky's class that doesn't have any commitments to this point. If Kentucky is able to land Thomas, they are getting one of the best players in the class.
