2025 Recruiting: Eric Reibe Official Visit

[Huskyforlife]

A huge bag and promise of starting no matter what has gotta be tempting. I'm sure UConn and Kansas told him he's probably spending at least one year as a backup.

So like Donovan Clingan?

I would imagine we leaned heavily into the Clingan comparison all visit.

That’s ‘NBA Lottery Pick’ Donovan Clingan.

And hopefully pointed out the size of the bag he just got from Portland.

Who would Reibe be sitting behind here? I don't think Danny promises starting roles like other coaches do, but he certainly tells recruits when the opportunity to start is there. This isn't Clingan sitting behind Sanogo.

Probably Reed. But I also don't think it's guaranteed Reed is better than Reibe either tbh.

I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by Reed turning in an all-conference-type season. Not expecting it. I mean, did you see him fielding that grounder???

100 percent. Reibe and Reed were rated similarly. First year kid with no college strength training versus a 4th year kid. We have had so much success with our last two centers, but I think people would be surprised by the average outcome for some big ranked between 30 and 70.

 

[AllHusky]

Haven't watched much Reibe video, is he definitely a pure 5, not a 4/5??

 

[REB1094]

"They see me playing in front of incoming transfers as well."

So they know what transfers they'll be bringing in after this coming season??

“We’re going to recruit over you in the transfer portal, but don’t worry we promise you’ll start as a freshman” is a hell of a pitch

 

[BGesus4]

Any kid that doesn’t want to be recruited over and wants to see the court is not a Husky kind of player

Tarris Reed but Danny loves the 2 headed monster at center. Sanogo Clingan. Clingan Samson. Samson Reed.

Don’t sleep on Singare in a year!

Man if Danny can get Adams, Reibe and Mullins, my goodness.

Don't forget Bundalo!

 

[Mooch82]

We're getting Adams...at this point I'd be pretty shocked if we didn't. Reibe and Bundalo are the only bigs we are recruiting...while we're recruiting a few other guard/wing types. So I think there may be a bit of a misconception here; I'm under the impression that if we take 3 guys, we are looking for 2 guards/wings and 1 big. I just think we'd be recruiting more bigs if we really wanted to bring 2 guys in...the math doesn't line up.

My impression is the goal is:

2 of Adams/Mullins/Thomas/Lewis/Furphy
1 of Reibe/Bundalo

Now...if we get 3 commits and a 4th wants to commit, and we are certain it won't impact the 3 guys already committed, maybe we take a 4th guy. But it just doesn't make sense to me that we're recruiting 5 guards and 2 bigs if we only want to take 1 guard and 2 bigs.

Sounds about right. I'm sure we're showing Adams and Mullins how they could play together. I think ournsystem could be great with both but itncould be hard to convince the second to commit.

 

[Ricker]

Bundalo has made it clear his position is the 4.
Reibe has made it clear his position is the 5
I don't know why we wouldn't be pushing for both
Bundalo just happens to be tall like Villanueva & Donyell that were tall 4's

Yep, they both shoot it from outside. Maybe that's why people don't think we'll get both of them.

I just see an NBA front line haha. Let’s get both

Game has also changed and Hurley’s coaching style in the last 2 years has been 4 out, 1 in. There’s a reason for that…and it works. Maybe Bundalo can play that role…but I’m not 100% sold on it.

Or all four
