INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - APRIL 06: Morez Johnson Jr. #21 of the Michigan Wolverines dribbles the ball in the paint against Eric Reibe #12 of the UConn Huskies during the first half of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament national championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium on April 06, 2026 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Eric Reibe, a transfer center out of UConn, has committed to USC and head coach Eric Musselman. Reibe, who’s originally from Germany, committed to UConn as a member of the class of 2025 out of The Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland. He was a priority recruiting target for Indiana under Mike Woodson, like Huskies teammate and Indiana native Braylon Mullins, before committing to UConn and Dan Hurley. He averaged 5.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists while shooting 65.8% from the field in 13.8 minutes per game off the bench for the runners-up, but saw minimal playing time during UConn’s run through the NCAA Tournament. Reibe became a potential portal option for Darian DeVries’ Hoosiers when he entered, but Indiana landed a commitment from SMU’s Samet Yigitoglu and the spot he’d occupy was filled. With Indiana having traveled to Los Angeles to take on USC this past season, the program is set to welcome the Trojans to Assembly Hall in 2026-27.
