Five-star Arkansas signee Meleek Thomas is set to join coach John Calipari and the Razorbacks next season, and he's been preparing for the jump to college basketball. The 6-foot-4 point guard has stayed locked in at the gym, putting in work as he gears up for the next chapter.
On Friday, Thomas shared photos of himself hard at work during training on Instagram. The post, which was a carousel of seven pictures, also included a highlight video that featured him in full attack mode for the City Reapers at the Overtime Elite League. He captioned the post:
"Proving points ain't worth it when you know your work serious"

With the City Reapers, Meleek ended the just-concluded season with an average of 26.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. His performance helped lead the City Reapers to the OTE Finals, but they lost to the YNG Dreamerz.
Thomas went on to feature in the McDonald's All-American game, upon wrapping up regular high school basketball. He represented the boys' West team that won 105-92, finishing the game with six points and four rebounds.
The point guard played in the Jordan Brand Classic as well. Despite recording 16 points, two rebounds and four assists, his team, Team Flight, lost the game 141-124.
Meleek Thomas will join the Razorbacks alongside five-star point guard Darius Acuff and four-star forwards Isaiah Sealy and Karim Rtail, who are also Arkansas commits.
