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.
PLAINFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — Suspects fled a Plainfield bank after it was robbed Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Plainfield Police Department was called at 2:10 p.m. Tuesday to the robbery of a bank in progress at Chase Bank, 807 Southfield Drive. That’s southwest of the intersection of Quaker Boulevard and Stafford Road/East County Road 450 South in the Hendricks County town.
Deputy Chief Ryan Salisbury of the Plainfield Police Department said detectives were working on the case.
The police department posted on social media on Tuesday night that no one was hurt in the robbery, and the suspects, who were not in custody, fled prior to the arrival of first responders.
INDIANAPOLIS — Sophie Cunningham wants to emphasize she’s perfectly happy with the Indiana Fever. She just wishes she could be locked down longer.
Cunningham, who signed a one-year, $665,000 deal with the Indiana Fever for 2026, said on her podcast, “Show Me Something,” on Tuesday night that she was frustrated with the free agency process in the condensed offseason.
She shook her head vehemently when her co-host West Wilson asked if the contract was better than she thought it would be, then said in part, “It’s tough because I came off an injury … I’m not even going to lie to you, that’s a little, kind of, frustrating.”
Fans on social media largely took that as she did not get interest from other teams, she didn’t want to return to the Fever, or she was unhappy with the salary she got.
She shut those thoughts down on social media Monday night, then expounded on her frustrations with local media at Fever training camp on Tuesday morning.

“I think Twitter kind of blew up last night about a comment I made on my podcast. But that wasn’t what I meant at all,” Cunningham said. “I think if you listen to the full clip, you really understand that I just wanted to be somewhere for more than one year. I’m almost 30 years old. I want to have a home. I want to get established. And I would love to get established in a place like Indiana.”
The Fever prioritized as much financial flexibility as possible this offseason because of the new EPIC clause, which allows both Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark to renegotiate their fourth-year salaries up to the max with an extension. Boston’s salary was bumped to $1 million in 2025, and she will make the supermax from 2027-29. Clark is eligible to negotiate up to the max in 2027, and both Clark and Boston could be making the supermax starting in 2028.
Only Lexie Hull and Monique Billings got major multi-year deals with the Fever out of free agency. Hull signed for $765,000 in 2026 and $803,250 in 2027, per Her Hoop Stats, while Billings got $800,000 for both 2026 and 2027. Damiris Dantas is the only other player that got a multi-year deal out of free agency, but that was for the minimum cap hit of $277,500.
Kelsey Mitchell signed a one-year, $1.4 million supermax, Cunningham returned on a one-year deal, and Myisha Hines-Allen and Tyasha Harris each signed one-year deals.
Cunningham added that she got multi-year offers from other teams, but chose to stay with Indiana on a one-year deal.
She wanted to return to Indiana, she said, because of friendships she created with her teammates and the potential they showed, even after six separate season-ending injuries on the roster. She is also closer to her hometown of Columbia, Missouri.
“When you find a group of girls who really make you fall in love with basketball games and you enjoy it, you enjoy them, not only on the court, but off the court, like, you want to hold on to that,” Cunningham said. “ … it was never about the money, it was just about the years, because I wanted to be with them. And God forbid a girl loves her teammates, you know what I mean?”
Cunningham is also coming off a major knee injury after she tore her MCL in August 2025. She was ruled out for the rest of the 2025 season and got surgery in Indianapolis, then had a six-month rehab process before she was cleared in February.
Since then, she has been ramping back up as much as possible, including playing one-on-one, three-on-three, plyometrics, and everything she does to get ready for a regular season.
Still, she said, she’ll need to actually play to get back into full basketball shape.
“Basketball shape is just different,” Cunningham said. “You can run as many suicides as you want, you can get your butt kicked however you want, but until you’re out here playing, you’re never fully going to be in game shape until you’re playing games.”

CLOVERDALE, Ind. (WKRC) – Authorities in Indiana found a semi trailer loaded up with hundreds of pounds of suspected cocaine.
According to a statement issued by the Indiana State Police (ISP), 27-year-old Harmandeep Singh of Bakersfield, California was taken into custody after nearly 400 pounds of suspected cocaine were reportedly found in the trailer of a commercial truck.
Per the statement, an ISP trooper seized the suspected cocaine during a traffic stop on Interstate 70 in Putnam County, authorities said.
The stop occurred Tuesday morning near the 37-mile marker, just east of Cloverdale, after a commercial motor vehicle was observed exceeding the posted speed limit.
