2025 Recruiting: Eric Reibe Offer (7’0” C)

[aburks41]

Eric Reibe, The Bullis School , Center
Top 50 4* recruit. Staff is handing out offers like fun coupons lately it’s hard to keep up haha

A 7'0" PF? Is he a Porzingis stretch type?

 

[TheHorde]

NIL should either be a non factor or a small one here, correct? Is he a German citizen, or is that not the case?

247 has him listed as a Center

 

[awy]

he actually plays tough inside but can shoot 3s and move.

 

[Mr. French]

Was just going to post this - some people were mentioning our interest in him blossoming on another thread, so this makes sense - we're offering some big time guys!

I was looking in the Player Rating section where he's 13th out of all PFs but his bio says C...

First we had the media overwhelmingly acknowledge UConn is a blue blood.
Then recruits were doing the same plus listing UConn first before “the others”.

Now recruits are not just blessed to receive a UConn offer but they are “Extremely blessed and honored to receive an offer from coach Hurley and the University of Connecticut.”

Only things remaining to solidify our progression in this rise as the best program and the top of the college basketball world are:

Identifying us as THE University of Connecticut.
Getting a national following of supporters and haters exceeding Dook.
Receiving monetary reward for our success and the viewership increase that should follow. Preferably by a significant increase in the BE contract or, if that doesn’t happen, an invitation to the power broker club.

I like all this but...

then I read the tweets of the other schools that offered him and those tweets say, "Extremely blessed..."

In a world where you receive blessings for ordering a chicken sandwich at Chik Fila, it's plain that hyperbole aint what it used to be.

In a world that runs primarily on emotions one learns to ignore salient facts that interfere with a narrative.

To add to my narrative I am absolutely, positively, one bazillion % certain that Eric was being polite with his other offers, but super duper genuinely sincere and excited with UConn’s offer. Additionally he has been praying for UConn’s offer since the moment of his conception. (Had to include this last point to continue the Chick Fila theme.)

German citizen, he got to the US last spring. NIL will definitely still be a factor though, every top recruit wants to be paid

Understood but does not being an American citizen affect that? I’m not sure how much things have changed since Sanogo was here for example. I recall him having difficulty with that.

I'm blessed and honored to have received an offer from Chick-fil-A to buy a spicy chicken sandwich for $6.15.

But I'll be extremely blessed and honored if Dan Hurley offers to bring it to me.

Just can't actively work when getting an NIL deal. So he could sell a jersey on the team store but wouldn't be able to go to the event working at Dunkin they just did last week

Foreign players just go to another country to get their NIL deals. We have ways to get around it.

Nils Giffey. Make a call.

Interesting that the announcers speaking German in the highlights, all of a sudden say "pick and pop" in the flow of commentary.

It doesn't surprise me that basketball jargon would just be directly borrowed from English. The same thing happens in Japanese, which I'm more familiar with.

Kind of a weird take to be mocking by a kid's faith. Just sayin.

One of the truest things ive ever read here. Well said.

Let's leave that one for Ohio state
