Kentucky makes Top 11 for 4-star center Eric Reibe

Eric Reibe, a seven-foot, four-star center out of Potomac (MD) The Bullis School, is down to a Top 11. The Kentucky Wildcats made the cut.

According to On3’s Joe Tipton, Reibe has trimmed his list down to Kentucky, Creighton, Harvard, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Stanford, UConn, and West Virginia. So far, he’s taken three official visits to Harvard, Creighton, and Iowa, although the Hawkeyes are no longer in consideration.

Reibe, ranked No. 38 overall in the 2025 class by the On3 Industry Ranking, expects to schedule an official visit with UK shortly. His only scheduled official at this time is with Oregon the weekend of August 2.

Reibe recently broke down some of his top schools with On3’s Jamie Shaw. Here’s what he had to say about Kentucky.

“Things are very good with them,” Reibe said. “I really like Coach (Mark) Pope and how he contacts me. He calls me like every single day, and with him being a big man, he knows how I feel and how I think on and off the court. I think he could be a good mentor for me. They see me as a shooter in their system. They like how I run the floor and that I can take early threes and play inside out, handoffs, and making the passes.”

Pope extended an offer to Reibe back on June 25 and has been moving quickly with the big man ever since. The entire coaching staff was even on the Zoom call when they offered him a scholarship. Rebie has previously said an official visit to Lexington could happen as early as the middle of August. A commitment decision is expected sooner rather than later.

Reibe is one of two 2025 centers with an offer from the Wildcats, joining four-star Malachi Moreno.
