2025 Recruiting: Eric Reibe Official Visit

[kansashusky]

Kansas thinks they lead. They are comparing Eric to Cole Aldrich. Not done yet, but definitely leaning.

 

[navery12]

yea the switching defense he played vs UConn was pretty great. but on offense he's more of a follower than leader nowadays. he had to be nudged to more of a 4 out offense, and kansas is a top 5 offense only seldomly and has more of a traditional shot mix. more adaptive than innovative.

If you use top 5 offense as the cutoff sure, but Kansas has had a top 10 offense 5 of the last 9 years

Can't see why any recruit would want to go here....

 

[RuffRuff]

Reed will be the starting C here so Reibe could only start at PF unless stew is still here

Reed will start but Hurley typically does a nice equitable job of splitting up the 5 minutes. If anything a nice setup for him. To me, it’s the perfect situation. Step into the starter role year 2 with Youssef backing up.

Is there a limit to the number of OVs a recruit can take?

I don't think that's a guarantee. At the very least, from Reibe's perspective, taking minutes from Reed/Singare is a lighter task than the former top 5 recruit at Kansas.

Is there a limit to the number of OVs a recruit can take?

No. Unlimited but just 1 to each school per academic year (roughly 9/1 - 8/31).

Yeah, I hate to say it but that puts our student section to shame. And we have a great one.

As someone who had student season tickets at both schools (including year 1 at Gampel behind the bench) AFH is really a different level.

Now look up the dorm for basketball players, McCarthy Hall. The videos are all old now, but it's pretty nice. Lots of reasons for any recruit to go to any number of schools.

Yeah. We have developed a very good fan base but you’ll never get UConn fans to go as nuts as they do at Kansas. I think it’s a cultural difference. Northeastern people are just more reserved and self conscious.

 

[RuffRuff]

Looks like KU may be the team to beat here.

 

[Son of Robert]

Yeah, well, this weekend he is here in Storrs, CT. We'll see what everyone's saying about Reibe next week. Chances are we will have big minutes available next year, depending some on how much Singare progresses this year.

 

[Scrutineer]

Very true but projecting what incoming freshmen will do is…an inexact science to say the least. At least Clingan had a body of work to use to project from his freshman year. I think Danny will find out a lot about his team in October and November.

On a really positive note, what that list tells us is how insightful our coaching staff is at identifying talent that will produce beyond what the "experts" think.

They've told him he's ready made to replace Dickinson, to which he reportedly replied, "yeah, well, that sounds good but what's Dickinson done besides rack up stats? Has he won any championships?"

They’re phenomenal at talent evaluation and development.

 

[Scrutineer]

One of the best programs in the country, second best coach in the country, one of the best fanbases in the country....

Plus their now legalized recruiting formula............

Everyone is the clubhouse leader after a good visit. Let's see what the thoughts are after his visit here. I do think it comes down to us and Kansas.

 

[CL82]

Huh? One of the best programs in basketball history. Great fanbase. Long lineage of NBA players. One of the best home courts in basketball.

Pssh, but other than that...

 

[CL82]

Personally, I find it difficult to respect a fan base that doesn't wander in to a game halfway into the first quarter. I mean, don't they have lives...

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Pssh, but other than that...

Great location for storm chasing?

 

[RuffRuff]

It worked!!!

 

[awy]

seems ho hum. what's the uconn vs kansas matchup situation academically?

 

[uconnfan68]

Huh? One of the best programs in basketball history. Great fanbase. Long lineage of NBA players. One of the best home courts in basketball. Embiid. Should we continue?

Who is “we”?

Samson Johnson has as many titles as Bill Self, just saying

 

[Umami Zen]

Alex K/Hassan/Samson will have more than Bill after this year
