Class of 2025 big man has scheduled an official visit to the UNC basketball program

As his recruitment heats up, Class of 2025 big man Eric Reibe has scheduled an official visit to the UNC basketball program.

After officially visiting Creighton (boo!) and Harvard, the Top-35 ranked recruit is setting an impressive schedule of official visits to traditional blue-blood schools (Kansas, Connecticut, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana) and Oregon.

The 7-foot, 235-pound center plays his high school ball at the Bullis School, a college prep school in Potomac, Maryland. Reibe is a 247Sports Composite four-star recruit and is the No. 4 ranked center in the country. The size makes him attractive. But it's the shooting that makes him a must-have.

Carolina has shown what it can look like with a three-point threat in the frontcourt. Brady Manek was the most lethal, but Pete Nance was effective when healthy, and even though he was an undersized big, Harrison Ingram had a lot of joy on the perimeter.

Imagine this towering 7-footer launching shot after shot over the frustrated, outstretched hands of help defenders who just can't reach high enough to bother the shot!

The UNC basketball program has a history of success with German recruits that should appeal to Eric Reibe. Henrik Rödl played for Dean Smith from 1989-1993, finishing his career with a national championship. Ademola Okulaja, another German, played under Smith and Bill Guthridge from 1995-1999. He SHOULD have won a national championship in 1997, but we'll not dwell on that.
