USC playing host to former blue chip big man transfer

USC and Eric Musselman are playing host to a former top-30 recruit as they look to boost their transfer portal class.

Former UConn center Eric Reibe, who is originally from Germany but attended the Bullis School in Maryland in high school, is set to visit the Trojans on Wednesday, according to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein. The 7-foot-1 former four-star recruit appeared in 40 games this season for the Huskies, starting five of them.

He finished the year averaging 5.9 points and 3.3 rebounds while playing 13.8 minutes per game. Now, he could be heading out west to join Musselman's program.

After Musselman's first season ended with a losing record, the Trojans got off to a hot start but ultimately lost eight in a row to end this year's campaign, missing the postseason entirely. Now, USC is back to the drawing board and is looking to add one of the top big men in the transfer portal.
