Just In: Hubert Davis Offers 7-Footer, 235-Pound Forward In Motion With Blockbuster Resume
UNC Basketball Lands Commitment from 7-Footer Eric Reibe
In a major recruiting coup, the University of North Carolina men’s basketball program has secured a commitment from 7-foot center Eric Reibe, a rising star in the class of 2025. Reibe, who hails from Germany and attends The Bullis School in Maryland, chose the Tar Heels over a host of other top programs that had offered him scholarships in recent months.
Reibe’s Impressive Resume
Reibe, ranked 47th nationally and 13th among centers in the 2025 class by 247Sports, has seen his recruitment skyrocket since the end of his sophomore season. In June alone, he picked up offers from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio State, and UConn, among others, before UNC entered the fray on June 30th.The big man’s standout performance at the prestigious NBPA Top 100 camp was a major catalyst for his recruitment taking off. UNC head coach Hubert Davis took notice and quickly moved to get Reibe on the phone for multiple conversations over the following weeks.
A Perfect Fit in Chapel Hill
Reibe’s commitment is a major win for Davis and the Tar Heels, who now have their first pledge in the 2025 class. The German big man’s combination of size, skill, and upside make him an ideal fit for UNC’s system and a potential cornerstone for the program’s future.At 7-feet and 235 pounds, Reibe has the physical tools to dominate in the paint at both ends of the floor. He runs the floor well for his size and has soft hands and touch around the basket. Defensively, his length and timing make him a formidable rim protector.
Looking Ahead to 2025
With Reibe now in the fold, UNC will look to build around him in the 2025 class. The Tar Heels have already offered several other highly-touted prospects, including 6-foot-8 forward Zymicah Wilkins, who is being recruited hard by the staff.
As Reibe continues to develop his game over the next two seasons, the excitement will only grow in Chapel Hill about his potential to make an impact at the college level. For now, Tar Heel fans can celebrate landing a potential program-changing talent in the 7-footer from Germany.
