2025 Recruiting: No longer an Eric Reibe Thread
- Thread starter controlfade
- Start date
I've been saying that Creighton is the biggest threat but this guy is delusional. more NBA ready if he goes to Creighton? on what planet?
yea sure the Creighton system is pretty nice but if you want the cutting edge there's nowhere to go but UConn.

Samson is a senior this year, he would not conflict with Reibe. Sorry Creighton.

This Tweet is clueless. We don't have SJ for any season Reibe would be here. It takes 4 seconds of research to figure that out.

Seems like it’s down to those two. But the take is way off, Samson Johnson won’t be back, he’s out of eligibility after this season is up. I’d say UConn has had a better track record of developing NBA bigs of late than Creighton…

Four years at Creighton for Kalkbrenner and he still isn't NBA ready. Maybe after his fifth year tho.

Our last two centers are playing in the NBA.
Creighton’s center is the Van Wilder of college hoops…

Why post this here? This is from a Creighton fan. You could find stuff all over the internet from fans of every team about why a recruit should pick their school. Come on, delete this thread.
I'm going to tweet why Reibe should pick UConn and then post it here in this thread. Lol

Nothing credible here. Reibe will walk right into an situation where he'll be a 15-20 minute guy at Uconn, which is perfect for a freshman. He also gets to follow two raw centers that Uconn developed as NBA players, perhaps more if SJ or TR make leaps. Meanwhile, Creighton has an all BE DPOY 5 that is playing extra years in college because he can't get himself draftable.
I can make rationale that supports Kansas - Self, Kansas, filling in behind Dickinson.
I can make a rationale for IU - Woodson, amongst his many flaws, seems to be able to send bigs to the NBA.
It's kinda hard to rationalize Creighton.
You have a guy in the below comments who is saying he's hearing Indiana/Kansas now because Uconn is focusing on Bundalo (yet I've heard very little about Uconn heading out to see NB).
Net net, no one really knows.

Please understand that this is exactly how some fans of every team sound.
If a player picks another school, it’s because he’s getting paid and values the wrong things and only that fan’s team offers the purest and most valid reasons to pick them.

I'm going to disagree on UConn having two raw centers. Of course the staff developed them but I would not call Sanogo and Clingan raw. They both obviously improved a lot but Sanogo was gifted in terms of scoring the ball and footwork as soon as he got here. Clingan was somewhat raw offensively when he got here and still is to some degree but he was a force as soon as he got here.

Hear yeah - most 5's likely do come to the college level having to make big adjustments, as they can no longer see success just by being bigger than the other guys. I do think there is more that goes into developing a 5 for the NBA than other positions given how guard centric college hoops is.

Four-star center Eric Reibe trims list to 5 schools | Zagsblog
By ADAM ZAGORIA Eric Reibe, the four-star […]

From Zags, with no paywall:
UConn: “What’s stands out to me about UConn is their player development, especially with [Donovan] Clingan. Their play style fits me as well, using me for handoffs, pick-and-rolls, pops and play-making. Coach [Dan] Hurley‘s training environment and recent championships speak for itself.”

He talks a lot about available minutes and immediate playing time, which is a negative for UConn. But, UConn recently has shown they have an excellent blueprint for sharing minutes and developing pro talent at the center position. Listen to Donovan, Eric!!

How is available minutes and immediate playing time a negative for UConn? All we have for bigs next season is Reed and Singare.
