One of the top rising prospects in the 2025 NCAA Basketball recruiting class is Eric Reibe, a 7'0 center from Germany. He's one of the top offensive post-players, who also can stretch the floor and shoot the ball. The consensus four-star prospect is ranked in the top-50 and figures to continue rising into a potential 5-star caliber player if the development continues.
Reibe has reportedly taken a trio of visits so far, with plenty of other programs getting into the mix. Per Jamie Shaw of On3 Sports, four other programs also could get a visit in the coming months. It also wouldn't be a surprise if some more "blue bloods" get into the mix as well to shake up his recruitment.
For now, let's focus on the seven programs listed in the article, including an early favorite for Reibe's services.
Creighton Bluejays
Among the very early predictions, Creighton has been viewed as a team to watch for Reibe. He has a similar skillset as star big man Ryan Kalkbrenner, who is entering his final year of eligibility this upcoming season. His current backup is Fredrick King, who already entered the transfer portal once, before deciding to return.
The obvious sell here is that Reibe would be the natural replacement for Kalkbrenner a year from now. Coach Greg McDermott has a nice development history with bigs and having one of the best centers in all of NCAA Basketball next season will help in this recruitment. But will Creighton be able to hold off on the bigger names that possibly come in?
