Why'd he want to leave UCONN?

In January or February, during a post game conference Hurley was asked about Reibe and he said something to the effect of he needs to worry more about his development and less about his playing time. He was behind Tarris Reed, one of the most dominant bigs in the country. He did a good job early in the year when Reed was injured, but when his minutes went down he became pretty disengaged on the bench. And he was getting lost on defense to the point it was tough to play him. According to UConn fans their staff wanted him back but told him they would bring in another 5 to compete. They always play two 5s heavy rotation minutes. Reibe decided to portal instead.

That’s been said about every player in the portal, someone has to give. Not saying it’s realistic but it is possible 

Reibe is a 7'1" McDonald's All American who looked good in his minutes for a Final Four team. He is not going to have a problem finding a starting role somewhere.

If Reibe left UConn dissatisfied with PT, no way in hell he takes a diminished role here. Cash is king, but PT is right up there chasing it in terms of importance. 

Not starting doesn't mean he wouldn't get more PT, technically, though.

True, but generally speaking, we all know starters usually get most PT outside of foul trouble or injury. He probably wants some sort of vision /guarantee of a larger role. Thats fine, but I'm just speculating that would not be the case at IU. I do like him as a player, though the fit with Sherrell might not be seamless.
