This seems about right. But under the heading of little things that mean a little something, kind of like Mgbako and the flag, how many other schools have a staff member who speaks fluent German and played a bunch of years in the Basketball Bundesliga? I believe the answer is zero.

That's one good item contributing to our 1/3 shot. Because if it was "who has won a ton lately" we'd be a distant third.

Going all in on this recruitment.

Alec Lasley @allasley

Indiana sending its full staff to see 4-star center Eric Reibe on Wednesday. Seems like IU is putting a major priority on the 2025 big man who visits later this month

Since it is before a lot of his visits why do you think this may be too late?

IU was four deep for Moreno as their #1 big from a prioritization standpoint for some time.  Moreno is gone(UK), IU has since switched gears to their next big and that big being Eric.

That writer used a lot of words to basically just list the schools recruiting him.

Creighton and Indiana also sending assistants in tomorrow for Reibe, he told @Stockrisers. Both Mike Woodson and Greg McDermott were in for Reibe last week. Like I said, this one is heating up.

Reibe arrives tonight for the start of his OV.  Mullins and Sisley on deck for the weekend.

Reibe with the opportunity to add to the long and storied history of German centers at IU.

Hopefully he doesn't have Ewe's hands of stone.

Creighton’s Greg McDermott will be in tomorrow for five-star senior Eric Reibe, he told @Stockrisers. Had an Indiana official this weekend and an asst. will be in from IU on Thursday.

 

Has a visit scheduled to Oregon on Oct. 4.  Would love to hear that it gets canceled.

Hope Marshall spent a whole bunch of time with him.

Mike Schumann @ The Daily Hoosier --

A few quick takeaways after speaking to 2025 center Eric Reibe:

 -After watching a full practice, he sees IU playing fast, sees the vision for him.  
-Noted skill/physical improvements of IU's recent big men, including Oumar Ballo.
-People he knows give IU thumbs up.

Yes.  Don't know how long he's been in the U.S. but he was at the very least born in Germany.
