Eric Reibe appreciation Thread

I guess I'm one of the ones that's pretending because didn't he lead in scoring one game? when you say not a starting center, maybe not for us at this point, but there are a lot of teams that he could be starting for division one.

“I don’t think anyone is pretending he’s a starting caliber center on an elite team at this point.“

Who knows / if I was this kid I would hold out until the portal period to see how it all shakes out. Why is he even news right now?

I have no idea what you’re talking about. The comment was about whether right now, 7 games into the season, Reibe is a starting caliber center on an elite team. Not sure what the portal has to do with that.

Why is this Princeton kid in the news now? Why would he pick a team now? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why not wait to see what happens for the rest of the year? Who truly needs him, who's leaving, etc.

I think you may have wandered into the wrong thread sir.

Oops if so, sorry.

Hurley is the best roster designer in the game along with Painter. May seems to know what he’s doing too.

Last year was an outlier, as you’re seeing how hard it is for a coach who wins an NC to catch up on the portal with Golden.

I think Hurley explained what the primary issue was, which was being in the National Championship game and the portal opening up before the Tournament's conclusion while Dan won't recruit during the Tourney. A good example of this is Uconn signed Silas Demary on 4/3/25. The '24 Championship game was on 4/8/24. The NCAA needs to fix this issue and we can avoid falling behind in recruiting transfers next year.

They just changed it last week for the 3rd time in the last 3 seasons. They can't seem to come up with something that everyone is happy with.

NCAA pitches shorter transfer windows for men's, women's hoops

The Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Oversight committees have proposed that the notification-of-transfer windows open for 15 days following the conclusion of the men's and women's NCAA tournaments.

100000% agree - the timing is ridiculous. How can you penalize teams making long runs in the tourney? Only rationale would be to drive parity. Winning an NC can swing things - whether someone goes to draft, etc. You just can't open that thing before the final. It's a distraction as well. Makes absolutely no sense.

Which is why they finally changed it. Only took them 3 tries to get there. See my post above yours.
