The advanced 7-footer from Germany is taking one more step in getting to know his UNC basketball suitors.
Four-star UNC basketball target and The Bullis School standout Eric Reibe, up over 70 notches since the start of the year to No. 38 overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, named a top 11 in his recruitment roughly a month ago. The 7-foot, 235-pound center included the Tar Heels on that list, along with Kentucky, Kansas, Creighton, Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio State, Stanford, Oregon, Harvard, and back-to-back national champion UConn.
Fourth-year UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis and his staff, who entered the fray back in June after sitting courtside for several of Reibe's polished performances in grassroots action, are set to host the top-shelf big man — No. 4 among centers in the class — for a three-day tour beginning on Sept. 20.
You’ll be watching Eric Reibe play on national TV in a couple of years. Eric balled out in front of dozens of coaches this weekend in Wichita. 🔥🇩🇪The German southpaw's other five slated trips are to Kansas , UConn , Kentucky , Indiana , and Oregon ."Eric Reibe is an extremely skilled big man with mobility and touch both inside and out. His basketball IQ is high, and his rebounding is consistent. Won’t find any more skilled at his size.".
