4-Star Center Eric Reibe Schedules Official Visit to Indiana, Others
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – One of the top high school centers in the nation has begun scheduling official visits.
Eric Reibe, a 7-foot, 235-pound center from The Bullis School in Potomac, Md., will visit Indiana on Oct. 4-6. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Paul Biancardi. Coach Mike Woodson and staff will have serious competition for Reibe against some of the nation’s top programs.
Reibe also scheduled visits to Kansas on Aug. 29-31, UConn on Sept. 6-8, Kentucky on Sept. 13-15, North Carolina on Sept. 20-22 and Oregon on Oct. 11-13. He previously visited Creighton, Harvard and Ohio State.
He announced on July 18 that he is considering 11 schools: UConn, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, Creighton, Harvard, Indiana, Ohio State, West Virginia, Oregon and Stanford.
“At 7 feet tall, Eric Reibe is an extremely skilled big man with mobility and touch both inside and out.,” Biancardi said of Reibe. “His basketball IQ is high, and his rebounding is consistent. Won’t find any more skilled at his size.”
A four-star recruit in the class of 2025, Reibe is ranked No. 38 overall, No. 4 among centers and No. 1 in Maryland, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
At the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Orlando in June, averaged 19.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. Originally from Germany, Reibe also has experience playing overseas in professional leagues and for the Germany U18 team.
Woodson and his staff have had some success recruiting and developing players of Reibe’s ilk, both geographically and positionally. Their lone class of 2024 recruit, five-star prospect Bryson Tucker, attended Bishop O’Connell High School in Arlington, Va., a 30-minute drive across the state border from Reibe’s school.
They also helped center Kel’el Ware make a significant jump in production from his freshman season at Oregon to his sophomore year at Indiana, leading to a first-round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft. Another center, Trayce Jackson-Davis, noticeably developed multiple areas of his game under Woodson and overachieved expectations as a rookie with the Golden State Warriors last season.
Indiana does not have any commitments in the class of 2025 yet, but the vast majority of recruits remain uncommitted. Fall is a popular time of year for official visits, and many players won’t commit until after their high school seasons, though Reibe has not announced a decision date.
Six players on Indiana’s 2024-25 roster have just one year of eligibility remaining, including centers Oumar Ballo, Langdon Hatton and Dallas James, so there will be plenty of minutes up for grabs heading into Reibe’s freshman season.
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
