2025 Recruiting: Eric Reibe Commits to UConn

[Get a Job]

Amazing get. We're getting the guys we want. And this guy is gonna be great.

Who else didn't know until recently that his name was pronounced RYE-BUH?

(In my head I've been alternatively saying REEB or REE-BUH.)

Fun fact: die Reibe means grater or shredder in German

Welcome aboard to UConn, Eric

We are glad you chose UConn.

 

[RuffRuff]

Excellent.

Any chance Eric knows Neils Giffey ?

Heard they shop at the same Aldi.

If we got Reibe, Bundalo and Furphy, Dan Hurley & staff would really be swinging to Euro/International ball. Feeling like the old JC years when he was scraping Israel & Europe and turning over rocks. Love it.

Or in Hurleyville

Reibe was likely quoting Hurley "glad you're a Husky."

People still don't know how to pronounce Giffey.

Kudos to the marketing department - they do one hell of a job helping build this crazy cult .

 

[80shusky]

Welcome Eric! He'll fit in great as a Husky.

 

[IndyLives]

Perfect. As I've said before, dominate center play is usually critical to winning a Title. #23 overall recruit, and that's probably lower than it should be because he plays in Germany. Kid can score from anywhere. If we can grab Mullins, it will be another Top 10 draft for Danny.

Odds of a 4-Peat have increased....

I’m applying for a one time waiver to quote Reibe “ I’m happy to be a fudging Husky!”

Welcome to UConn Nation Eric. BLEED BLUE

With all the excitement - take a few seconds today to appreciate how fortunate we UConn fans are. The best coaching staff in the game, a super talented team coming off 2 straight championships (!!), a championship culture, and no signs of slowing down. Incredible.

unstoppable Juggernaut

 

[Chin Diesel]

he's already working the NIL branding. genius

He's from Hanover, Germany?

It would be cool if there was some brand related to that he could pimp here in the states.

I wondered if it was pronounced that way. In German, if it's ei it is pronounced "I", it it were ie, it would be pronounced "E".

We have a brewery in Charlotte named Gilde that makes Hannover style beer.
