Reibe in the portal

He did not earn the right to be penciled in as the starter next year. If it’s about how he wants to play he needs to leave. We run sets. Bigs screen roll to the rim.

But I think he has read too much Chief00 and has soured on the high hedge.

Outside of Sanogo, AK, and Jackson our best players during this historical run have all been 1 and 2 year players- Clingan, Castle, Cam, Tristen, Tarris, Hawkins, Silas, McNeeley, Braylon.

You're of course right on brand with this.

Not saying it's not going to work.

The sensitivity here is OOC sometimes. The whole point is the concept of core continuity, multi year, is over. It was coming, surprised that fast.

If I am Hurley, why even recruit more than 1 HS kid a year? Go all in on an elite 5 star like Castle/McNeeley/Mullins who you know will start freshman year.

These 4star guys who aren't good enough to start early on in the career end up leaving after 1 year because they are looking for an easier path. Waste of everyones time.

It's definitely looking that way. Better off building continuity with portal transfers that have more than one year left.

I know this is the world we live in now, but doesn't mean we have to like it. I know a lot of our success the last few years has been due to transfers, and very likeable ones, but having a least a few key players being around for.more than a year or two I still think is important to the culture and making the game fun to watch. I hope we don't fully lose that.

And I am sorry, I am not magnanimous about people transferring out of the program without really giving it a chance (Nowell, Abraham, now Reibe). To them, don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Fwiw, never really thought he was a Hurley kind of big.

Outside of OAD-types, Hurley has initially struggled a bit at figuring out what kind of high school prospect he was to recruit for the new offense. They had been working with what they had on hand during the championship runs and then the staff seemed to try to find the "Ideal" players for the new offense. Then Mahaney happened and he decided to go back to trying to recreate what brought the championships (bringing in Silas).

The Reibe recruitment dates back to the "Ideal" player period. I think Reibe did us a favor and Hurley can go back to big post players that excel at the rim offensively and/or defensively.

This is not particularly surprising. My gut sense is that this has as much to do with how he wants to play as how much he wants to play.

We'll see where he ends up, but it'll bum me out if we see him playmaking and shooting 3s somewhere next year.

Then it’s shame on the coaching staff who had a year every day to accurately evaluate his skill set, turns into that guy.
 
Not surprised at all by this announcement.

Three finals in the past four years and you’d be letting this big dictate what he wants.

Need 2 bigs now. I haven’t watched either of these guys so I don’t know anything about their size and skill sets

Well 3. Need the emergency guy, too.
 
Wasn't impressed by Reibe much at all; especially being a McDonald's AA.

He had some flashes early in the season, but his play degraded during the season.

Too foul prone and never displayed the touted Euro bigman skillset.

Everyone assumed playing time, but the word I saw used was usage.

I thought at the time I saw that, he ( and/or his family) views himself a euro center out on the perimeter. He sees how we employ our 5's down in the low block and that's not him. You see his lack of rebounding, which is want to, as well. I think this is clearly the reason.

Makes me wonder what he was told at recruiting. And more importantly what they think they heard.

Worth noting. Hurley and his staff have had end of season debriefs with all the players, told them what is expected in off-season and what role the staff is projecting for next season.

Need to limit and be very precise with any HS recruiting. Bringing in two kids that are ready to contribute immediately, starter or bench, is the way to go.
 
I think Reibe is talented and I would have liked to see him make a jump from 1st year to 2nd year. He did shoot 69% from 2, and 31% from 3, but he did only average 9.5 rebounds per 40 minutes which is low for a 7'1" center. And, Hurley couldn't go into next season thinking he wasn't going to bring in someone to compete for the starting center role.
