Kentucky targets a transfer portal center they recruited in 2025
The Kentucky Wildcats continue to scour the transfer portal for good players, and are targeting a center they recruited last year.
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team is in need of talent, and Mark Pope is thoroughly searching in the transfer portal for players who can win games next season. A recent addition to the list of players they have contacted is Eric Reibe , and name that will be familiar to fans who follow Wildcats recruiting. Reibe is a 7'1", 260 lb center originally from Germany.
As a member of the 2025 recruiting class, he was offered by Kentucky, but ended up with Connecticut. In his freshman season there, he averaged just under 14 minutes per game, posting 5. 9 points and 3.
3 rebounds. He is also a stretch big who can shoot the ball from all over the court. He made 31% of his three-pointers last year.
On3's Jamie Shaw is reporting that Pope and Kentucky are once again working to bring him to Lexington. He's the kind of center that fits very well in Pope's offense, and could pair well with Malachi Moreno in a big lineup, if Moreno returns. There will be plenty of competition for Reibe.
