"Keep hoopin kid": Arkansas Razorbacks signee Meleek Thomas encourages unranked 2025 prospect Connor Sprattley after explosive performance

Thomas Jefferson Campus star Connor Sprattley continued to prove his unranked and unstarred status wrong during Friday's game against Abraham Lincoln High School. He dropped 50 points against the Railsplitters in the 95-79 win.

Sprattley also contributed with seven assists and three steals. His teammate, Tamir Harper, added nine points. This was the team's sixth straight win, pushing their record to 15-1.

This happened just a few games after Sprattley dropped 71 points and set the season's single-game record.

Sprattley is just 5-foot-10 and is often unrated by the big ranking websites such as Rivals and ESPN. However, after two straight explosive performances, dropping 121 points in just two games, many people including Overtime Elite star and Arkansas signee Meleek Thomas dropped some words of encouragement.

"keep hoopin kid, Ya work gon show," Thomas wrote in his Instagram story.

Meleek Thomas plays for the City Reapers at Overtime Elite. The five-star shooting guard signed with John Calipari's Arkansas last month.

Thomas Jefferson Campus is now ranked third in the state of New York, with Sprattley's back-to-back performances getting many talking if the scouts were wrong about him. On Tuesday, his 71-point performance against Curtis High School already placed his unranked and unstarred status into question.

Despite being unranked, Connor Sprattley does have several big college offers

Connor Sprattley's unranked status hasn't turned him down one bit, as he has proven that he is not just a scoring machine, but he could pass as well. His plays have also caught the attention of several colleges who have already offered him scholarships to play for their respective basketball teams.

These teams include Long Island University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Albany, Southern Mississippi and Stony Brook. He has also gotten an offer from the Big 12's Oklahoma State.

So far, Sprattley remains uncommitted and there is still no favorite among the schools targetting him. However, these schools might get a sleeper star on their hands, especially as he is still considered unranked despite his displays of offensive prowess on one of New York's top high school basketball teams.
