North Carolina transfer Caleb Love flips to Pac-12 school

The Arizona Wildcats landed one of the top players in the transfer portal on Tuesday.

North Carolina transfer guard Caleb Love has ended his recruitment, for a second time.

On Tuesday, the 6-foot-4 guard committed to the Arizona Wildcats, the second commitment of his recruitment this offseason. Prior to committing to the Wildcats, Love committed to the Michigan Wolverines earlier this offseason but quickly changed the course of direction and entered the portal once again.

Now, he’s found his home in Tucson, making his announcement on Twitter.

Love this past season for the Tar Heels averaged 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game while playing 35.8 minutes per night. He also shot a career-high 37.8% from the field. His strong season also saw him score 20+ points in 11 games last season including a 34-point, nine rebounds, four assists, and three steal performances against Alabama in late November.

The Wildcats are coming off a 28-7 season which included a 14-6 record in Pac-12 conference play. The Wildcats would earn a No.2 seed in the south region of the NCAA Tournament but were upset by No.15 Princeton in the first round. So far in both of their seasons under head coach Tommy Lloyd, the Wildcats have made the NCAA Tournament after missing it in their last two seasons under head coach Sean Miller, not counting the 2020-2021 season.
