On July 30, 2025, Caleb Love, the electrifying former Arizona Wildcats guard, was inducted as the 35th member of the Arizona Men's Basketball Ring of Honor during an emotional ceremony at McKale Center. The honor, reserved for the program's elite, was secured by Love's 2024 Pac-12 Player of the Year award, a testament to his transformative two seasons with Arizona after transferring from North Carolina. Averaging 17.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists across 74 games, Love's high-octane performances, including a 36-point outburst against Oregon and a 35-point masterpiece in the 2025 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 against Duke, solidified his legacy. Now a Portland Trail Blazers two-way contract player, Love returned to Tucson alongside teammate Carter Bryant, reflecting on the honor: "This means everything. Arizona gave me a home, and I poured my heart into this program."Love's induction celebrates not only his on-court brilliance but also his leadership, which reshaped the Wildcats under coach Tommy Lloyd.
His clutch heroics, like a 29-point, nine-rebound performance in the 2024 NCAA Tournament against Oregon, fueled Arizona's back-to-back Sweet 16 runs. Teammate Henri Veesaar praised Love's impact, saying, "Caleb pushed us all to be better. He's the best teammate I've had, always lifting us up." Joining recent honorees like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin, Love's banner will now hang in McKale Center's rafters, a lasting symbol of his contributions. "I never imagined my name up there with the greats," Love said, visibly moved. As Arizona enters the Big 12, Love's legacy as the 35th Ring of Honor inductee inspires a new era of Wildcat basketball.
Well deserved, congratulations
Knew this had to be in the works.
Eternal Caleb optimist is proud of Caleb.
Probably a contractual agreement, but I'm not against it. He basically defines the Tommy Lloyd Era thus far.
