He's also in Arizona training at this time. There's definitely a chance.

Love is an athletic guard with tons of experience but I can't envision how he fits in, unless Bradley plays minimal minutes.

At this point, I am going to make an u educated guess and uninformed guess that Arizona is in a good spot.
Gonzaga would be the program I would worry about as I type this though.
Too much time to play itself out here though.

Caleb Love is not the type of player that certain members around these parts want on the team, but it is of my opinion that if it won't cause a problem with Bradley's transferring in under whatever impression he was given in terms of role and playing time by Tommy as part of the "sell" then Caleb Love really could be the "Gilbert Arenas" of this team.

He's not the guy who is going to be expected to be shooting 47% from the field on 18 attempts per game, but he 100% can be the type to take games over in stretches.

I don't think that role is what C.Love is looking for, but that's how I view him. Obviously doesn't hurt to have functional depth, not just roster slots filled. Someone like Love would help Tommy grow as a coach because he cannot be simply stashed away and ignored like he did with most of the team last year.

Love isn't an inexperienced player that requires development, like the players that sat on Arizona's bench last season. He's similar to Ramey...and would serve a similar role.

Most kids in today's climate scoff at the idea of being a 6th man most of the time.
Yet, you have/had guys like Crawford/Williams and now Clarkson getting paid like a starter for the role of a flame-thrower coming off the bench.
 
At this point, I have no idea how this roster/rotation is going to shake out.
I guess once the dust is settled, then we...I mean me would be able to make a better assumption about lineups and rotations.

If we land love , I think Lloyd   should go with a 3 guard lineup of  with Boswell bradley an love, pelle off the bench which he is more effective  there.

I am a tlttle torn on love coming here, seeing how negative  the unc fans were about him an still are.

I read a comment   yesterday  that said  you better get ready to rebound.


I know he is a capable shooter an a gut put some points on the board just not sure.

You have to worry about team chemistry

However we could use a  guy like him that put up some numbers up.

I guess we will,

He also has a relationship  with coach Robinson  so maybe  he ends up here.

I read love is visiting  on Saturday  from someone on here things are definitely  getting  interesting.

Also someone  said he may be visiting  Texas so we likely  won't get a commitment  from him until his visits are done.
