In 2025-26, it's likely that F Alex Karaban and F Liam McNeeley, an incoming five-star recruit in the 2024 college basketball recruiting class, will depart for the NBA, meaning an open spot in the frontcourt is there for Reibe to take. Samson Johnson will be graduating, meaning the only player in UConn’s frontcourt next year is Michigan transfer Tarris Reed Jr. UConn will have open spots in the frontcourt. Eric Reibe would be a logical piece for the Huskies’ future.
