NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing the 11 teams in play for 4-star C Eric Reibe

Eric Reibe, a 4-star center out of The Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, has cut his list to 11 teams, according to a tweet by Joe Tipton on Thursday. Reibe is one of the top centers in the 2025 NCAA basketball recruiting class.

According to 24/7 Sports Composite rankings, Reibe is ranked 40th overall and is the third-best center in the 2025 recruiting class. The skilled 7-foot, 235-pound big man, who hails from Germany, played on the German national team in the U18 Euro Championship in 2022 and 2023, where he earned a bronze and gold medal, according to an article by Schuyler Callihan of Sports Illustrated.

Reibe made his mark on the recruiting trail through his standout performance in the NBPA Top 100 camp in June 2024. According to the camp’s official website, Reibe averaged 19.7 PPG and 6.6 RPG in 23.3 MPG, earning offers from UConn, North Carolina and Kentucky in one week.

With his 11 teams now in the fold -- UConn, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, Creighton, Harvard, Indiana, Ohio State, West Virginia, Oregon and Stanford -- take a look at how Eric Reibe fits for each for each time listed

Creighton Bluejays

The Creighton Bluejays have been the team to monitor for the landing of Reibe’s talents, and there is a reason why. RyanKalkbrenner, one of the best bigs in college basketball this upcoming season, will have exhausted his collegiate eligibility by Spring 2025, meaning the Bluejays will have an open spot at the center position.

Even if backup options such as Issac Traudt and Frederik King are in the mix, Reibe would undoubtedly be a substantial splash in the Bluejays frontcourt. Greg McDermott has done well with developing bigs -- and Reibe would be no exception -- making Omaha an ideal landing spot for the seven-footer.
