It’s no surprise that Hubert Davis’ UNC basketball recruiting team did not advance to the next stage for The Bullis School (Md.) senior Eric Reibe. After all, the 7-foot, 235-pound center canceled the official visit to Chapel Hill that he had initially scheduled for the first weekend of September.

Previously, the promising lefty big man was down to a top 11 of those five plus UNC, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio State, Harvard, and Stanford.
Reibe now ranks No. 33 overall, No. 4 among full-fledged centers, and No. 1 in Maryland on the 247Sports 2025 Composite. He advertised an offer from fourth-year UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels back in late June.
Meanwhile, Davis and his assistants appear to remain in the mix for roughly a half-dozen 2025 targets, including several of the five-star variety. That’s not to mention the Tar Heels’ lone pledge in the cycle thus far in Gonzaga College High School (D.C.) combo guard Derek Dixon, a four-star prospect stacking up at No. 47 overall among his peers, No. 6 at his position, and No. 3 in the nation’s capital.
