Eric Reibe to play in Nike Hoop Summit game tonight

[CTFAN4LIFE]

So, just to get back to what Reibe did in this game: he finished with 13 points on 71% shooting (3rd best in the game) and 8 boards in 25 minutes. He had the 5th highest FIC (floor impact counter) stat in the game. Not bad against a loaded US team.

Just hoping he'll be good enough in year 1 to provide decent minutes backing up Tarris.

While also being ignored by his teammates all game.

His defense will be the only thing that keeps him from seeing serious minutes this season. Hopefully a summer in the School of Dan Hurley will get him ready for November.

That is exactly right. He was involved in the offense very little. On both his lobs he was wide open and he was open a lot more than that. He was also wide open on the arc, sometime with no one within yards and they never passed to him. And there was virtually no effort made to get him the ball down low.

Defense without fouling. The "emergency center" is going to get plenty of playing time. That Reibe can play as a 4 would help PT in the event they fail to collect fouls.

I’m looking forward to us swinging him the rock when he’s open at the arc. He seems really confident in his shot.

I needed a lot of reeb to get through this season

oh wait - I read that backwards.

No tv no beer makes gurley man something something

Still need an 8-15 minute big body 5 for obvious reasons. Can’t hope he can back up especially when he looks and plays more like a 4. Need him to occasionally be the 5 when you play smaller but not automatically that guy every time Reed gets 2 quick ones. They just finalized a brilliant backcourt with Smith now lets grab a big!

Reibe is going to be a match-up nightmare for opponents on the offensive end. But until Reibe gains the necessary strength down low, he is going to often be a match-up nightmare for UConn on the defensive end.

Dan Hurley is going to want the flexibility to pick his spots.

Now we're talking. Maybe some of our alumni will be around to assist.

Hes going to be very good in his time here. Thats all i care about. Funny how people seem to get down a bit on him after the McDAA lol!

 

[aboogieee]

Reibe highlights.

 

[Incursio007]

Reibe highlights.

That between the legs drive to the hoop was very impressive. He’s very skilled already. Weight room will do wonders for him if he commits to it.

 

[3rdbass]

Reibe highlights.

He has looked better and better each game I have seen. He is actually a pretty good shot blocker and his abilitty to take his man off the dribble from the 3 point line is impressive. Kid looks really talented.

Agreed. These clips are really showing his stretch 4 moves

The Capital Game highlights were very impressive. His timing was right on. He not only blocked shots, he blocked shots and recovered the ball. Since they were only highlights they didn't show how many times he changed or prevented shots. This kid is going to get minutes.

All high school players need to get into a real strength and conditioning program. It's not a question of getting bigger, sometimes a player sacrifices quickness as he gains bulk. He already looks to have a good natural base. How he augments his natural growth as his body fills out is important. We want him to keep his athleticism and bounce.

 

[jibsey]

We should be a LOT more excited about this kid than what I’ve been reading here. Beautiful stroke from 3, offensive moves and blocks. He looks like Clingan freshman year.

 

[InKembaITrust]

Incredible handle for his size.

 

[husky99]

Could there be a line up with both reibe and reed is on the floor for long stretches?

 

[Son of Robert]

Incredible handle for his size.

Much lighter on his feet than I first thought also from some other clips. Eric is going to be a big-time player here, all-around game for a big man.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

If Reibe can quickly translate some of those perimeter skills to college, we will almost certainly see stretches of he and Reed together. Not sure how long of stretches as they’re still going to have to manage fatigue and fouls but now that we actually have two bigs with complementary skill sets to make it work, it should be an interesting look to throw at opponents.

 

[AllHusky]

Yes, quicker and more agile than I expected. Can anyone say double bigs??(and yes, I know we would worry about foul accumulations with Reed and Reibe in together))

 

[Marat]

Not if we don't have a 3rd big waiting on the bench to come in due to foul trouble.
