Eric Reibe stands 7 feet tall, but his game still has room to grow

[HooperScooper]

Article from Zagoria. Reibe is playing at the Jordan Holiday Classic in NY. Hurley there watching. Reibe didn't have a good game going against Cameron Boozer. General consensus is he needs to get a lot stronger. He has almost a year to do that.

“For a guy his size at center, Eric’s got just tons of offensive skill, as a shooter, as a passer, as a guy who can score in the post,” Hurley told ZAGSBLOG. “He’s gonna have a huge impact on us. He’s gonna get to campus, he’ll get stronger, he’ll get into the way that we do things, the level of urgency, and he’s gonna take off.”

If you didn't read the article I thought this quote from an NBA scout was interesting. Hurley is building a pipeline to the NBA and NBA people know the program is going to develop players well.

One NBA scout said he had no doubt that Hurley and his staff will develop Reibe.

“He’s gotta get stronger,” the scout said. “He’s going to the right place though.”

I guess we are going to lean into the Tasmanian thing: “It’s an awesome class,” Hurley said. “I mean, we just lost so much high-end talent [with seven guys going to the NBA over two years], with Braylon and Darius and big Eric and “Tassie” we’re really going to be able to replenish a lot of that high-end, early-entry talent that we lost in the last couple of years.”

Reibe is expected to be at UConn for the PC game this Sunday. Just look for a really tall kid behind the bench.
