7-foot center Eric Reibe will announce his college decision on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Reibe has received predictions in the last week he’ll pick UConn at all three national recruiting outlets (On3, Rivals and 247Sports).  Some of those picks have been made by local publishers, but they also include a UConn prediction by On3’s national analyst Jamie Shaw.

Reibe was IU’s only true center target in the 2025 high school class, and all of their current centers will be out of eligibility following the 2024-25 season.  If the predictions prove to be accurate, which seems very likely at this point, that means the IU staff will have to recruit multiple centers out of the transfer portal next spring.

The situation with 2025 top-25 shooting guard Braylon Mullins is a little less clear.  As previously reported here, he’s announcing his decision in just a little over a week, on Oct. 23.

But the same trendlines appear in Mullins recruitment — and to the same school.  He’s also received recent UConn predictions at all three national outlets, including by Shaw.

Both Reibe and Mullins visited IU the same weekend as the program’s lone 2025 commit, in-state forward Trent Sisley.  It currently looks like Sisley will be the only player in that trio who will play for the Hoosiers.

Indiana’s remaining priority 2025 targets are Bryson Tiller, Nate Ament, Mikel Brown and Winters Grady.

Could IU’s recruiting efforts follow a similar pattern from a year ago?

Mike Woodson only landed one player in the 2024 class but he assembled one of the best transfer portal classes in the nation.  And he found class balance by landing young sophomore guards in Kanaan Carlyle and Myles Rice.

In the end, Woodson overhauled the roster, from a team that missed the NCAA Tournament, to a preseason top-20 squad.
