Four-star 7-footer Eric Reibe visits Kansas, cancels several others

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Eric Reibe, the four-star 7-footer from the Bullis School (MD), took an official visit to Kansas over the weekend and has canceled several upcoming visits.

Coach Bill Self and his staff see Reibe as a potential heir to big man Hunter Dickinson.

“I enjoyed the visit a lot, I got to see everything they have to offer,” he told ZAGSBLOG via text.

“I‘m the one replacing Hunter Dickinson and the role as a 4-5 player, very broadly speaking,” he added of the Kansas message regarding his role.

Reibe will still visit UConn (Sept. 6), but has cancelled upcoming visits to Kentucky (Sept. 13) and North Carolina (Sept. 20).

He is trying to move up his visits to Indiana (Oct. 4) and Oregon (Oct. 11) and is still considering Creighton.
