Eric Reibe Chooses USC, Leaves UConn

0:00Eric Rebe, the seven-foot German center from Yukon, just committed to USC. This top 25 recruit from the Class of 2025 picked the Trojans after a solid freshman year with the Huskies. He turned down heavy hitters like Kansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky to join Yukon last season. As a backup, he logged about 14 minutes of game, dropping nearly six points and snagging over three boards while shooting better than 65 percent from the field. Fans and scouts see this as a smart move for Rebe, who wants more shine after backing up Terris Reed Jr. Yukon's early exit in the title game opened the door, and he hit the transfer portal quick. Reports say he edged out Kentucky and others to link up with USC head coach Eric Musselman. The Trojans went 18 and 14 last year, struggling at 7 and 13 in the Big Ten. Meanwhile, Yukon keeps stacking the portal with Bigs like Najai Hines from Seton Hall and Guard Nicholas Kamenia from Duke. Rebe's exit stings, but the Huskies stay aggressive as the offseason heats up. That's the story for today.
