Overtime Elite has welcomed two highly sought-after recruits for the upcoming season. Five-star prospect Meleek Thomas and four-star Amari Evans both made it onto the class of 2025 rankings released by 247 Sports. Thomas, ranked at No. 10 overall, announced his transfer to OTE, joining Evans who is ranked No. 95.
Both Thomas and Evans are national level recruits with offers from schools like Pitt. Evans is set to visit Pitt officially in the coming weekend. Despite only five Pennsylvania high school players making it into the top 150 rankings, six local class-of-2025 recruits have offers from Division One schools, including Tyler Robbins, Ama Tening Sow, and RJ Sledge.
Players like Zion Moore and Mikey Santicola have garnered interest from programs at both the Division One and Division Two levels.
