Can Oregon Ducks Basketball Beat Out Blue Bloods For Top Center Recruit Eric Reibe? Visit Looms
One of the top centers in the land is highly considering becoming an Oregon Duck.
Class of 2025’s Eric Reibe has scheduled six official visits to Kansas (Aug. 29-31), UConn (Sept. 6-8), Kentucky (Sept.13-15), North Carolina (Sept. 20-22), Indiana (Oct. 4-6) and Oregon (Oct. 11-13).
He doesn’t have a commitment date set at the moment but is looking to aim for an early signing period decision. Reibe seems to like the offense with which Dana Altman has implemented and believes it’s a strong fit at Oregon.
“Coach Dana Altman has done a good job of telling me how he wants to use my skill-set… I have good connections with Louis Rowe and Coach Mike Mennenga. I have developed a good connection with them and good relationships. They haven’t really had a player with my size or skill-set, so that is kind of new. But they run a five-out offense and they want to use me more as a four man to stretch the floor and in dribble hand-offs…”
– Eric Reibe via Joe Tipton of On3
Reibe is ranked the 34th best overall recruit in the nation, the second ranked center in the country and the top player coming out of the state of Maryland according to On3.
The young, skilled seven-footer plays at The Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland and also represented Germany in the U18 European championship this summer. He averaged 8.0 points per game on 56.1 field goal percentage and 46.7 three-point percentage and 4.9 rebounds per game in 11 games with Orange Academy Ratiopharm in the Germany ProA league.
The southpaw can stretch the floor and isn’t afraid to let it loose from deep. That’s the dream seven-footer prospect. Reibe is also mobile and runs the floor well. Around the rim, he has an extremely soft touch.
The 2024-25 Ducks only have one true center in senior Nate Bittle on the roster and have no incoming recruits to play the five spot. The big man minutes can be all for Reibe if he wants it.
Altman’s Ducks are also targeting Trey McKenney, a 6-4 shooting guard in the class of 2025. McKenney is the nation’s No. 16 overall ranked player, according to 247 Sports, and is the No. 1 recruit from the state of Michigan. His versatility is a strength: with the ability to bring the ball up at the 1 and is a gifted scorer. He’s powerfully built for his size at 233 pounds with a 6-9 wingspan.
The Flint, Michigan, native is scheduled to visit Eugene on October 12.

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — With snow already piling onto the mountains, more people are flocking to Central Oregon. With businesses seeing more people now than ever before this season.
Todd Mcgee, owner of Powderhouse told KTVZ News, “It’s a lot more in the fact if you think about it, was Christmas break where we should be slammed? we’re as busy or even busier then on a Monday than we were on christmas, you know, weekend. so it’s a huge, significant amount.”
Ski and snowboard rentals tell you much about how busy of a time it is.
The busier the rental shops, the busier the mountains are.
“A ton more season leases. and the nice thing about our rentals, when they’re coming back, they’re looking in good shape,” Mcgee told KTVZ News. “We’re not having to stay late and tune them and P-TEX them and get them all back looking nice.”
Powderhouse still has its day and a half turnaround to have equipment ready to go.
Iif you’re still looking to rent equipment, now’s the time to do it.

Gary Danielson talks Indiana football vs. Oregon rematch: ‘They seemed to not take IU seriously’
Gary Danielson just retired from calling college football games for decades, including this season’s Indiana at Oregon matchup on Oct. 11.
The Hoosiers (14-0) handed the then-No. 3 Ducks their only loss, 30-20, on the way to the nation’s No. 1 ranking heading into their Peach Bowl game Friday.
Danielson, who played quarterback at Purdue from 1970-72 before an 11-year NFL career, believes Oregon will be more focused for this game.
Remember IU’s historic season with this commemorative book!
The Ducks came into the matchup off an idle week after a double-overtime win over then-No. 3 Penn State at State College, Pennsylvania. Danielson sensed they were still basking in the glow of that win.
“I think Oregon will be very focused for this football game,” he said Monday on the “Dan Patrick Show.” “When Indiana beat them in Oregon, which is a tough place to play, Oregon was coming off their celebration for beating Penn State. Honestly, when we did our interviews, I was struck that they couldn’t get off the Penn State story. … They seemed to not take IU seriously. They’ll take them seriously for this game.”
Though IU made the College Football Playoff last season, some believed the Hoosiers were a one-year wonder, Danielson said.
“They were considered a fraud from their 2024 finish,” he said. “They weren’t frauds, but they weren’t ready for the big-time stage yet. I thought they were focused this year,” especially on defense.
The Hoosiers lost at Notre Dame in the first-round of last season’s CFP.
