One of the big men in the 2025 class that Coach Mark Pope is after just recently lined up an official visit to Kentucky. This is Eric Reibe, who is from Potomac, Maryland, and is listed as the 38th best player in the 2025 class according to 247Sports aggregate rankings.
Reibe has revealed that he will be taking a visit to Lexington the weekend of September 13th, which should be a nice weekend for a visit since the football team is hosting the Georgia Bulldogs.
What will be noteworthy in this recruitment is what happens if Malachi Moreno commits to Kentucky. Moreno is set to commit in a few hours, and it feels like he is likely to chose Kentucky. Reibe and Moreno are both back to the basket centers, so it will be exciting to see what Reibe does if Moreno picks the Wildcats. It’s not to say Kentucky can’t take two centers. It would just be challenging for Reibe to go to a school in a class where he is recognized as the second-best center.
Reibe has official trips planned up to Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, UConn, Indiana, and Oregon, so a ton of big-time colleges are recruiting the seven-footer.
If Moreno picks Kentucky Big Blue Nation will shortly find out about what Reibe intends to do. If he comes on the visit, there is a universe where he may chose Kentucky. On the other hand, a Moreno commitment could lead to Reibe canceling his visit and using it at another institution. Moreno’s impending choice will have a major impact on Reibe’s decision.
