After a challenging 2025-2026 season marred by injuries, USC basketball coach Eric Musselman is actively seeking to bolster his roster through the transfer portal. One of his key targets is Eric Reibe, a former UConn center. Standing at 7-foot-1, Reibe is a former four-star recruit from Germany who attended high school at the Bullis School in Maryland. During the last season, he played in 40 games for the Huskies, starting five and averaging 5.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in just under 14 minutes of play per game.
