Portal or nba? Not sure what to say about him he is great one game and terrible the next but so are most of our players
Caleb Love
- Thread starter GoNtheDistance
- Start date
That's what I'm saying. Caleb has done more for the program then most of the folks sitting behind a computer screen bashing him. Most of you guys have never played high level competitive sports, or you would realize Caleb is far from selfish. Towards the end of the season he made concerted efforts to get assists when his shot wasn't falling. Nobody on the team shot particularly well, but Caleb gets blamed because the ball was always given to him at the end of the shot clock. He's still my favorite player on the team, despite struggling this year. Without his 17 pts a game there would've been even more losses. If Hubert had a real offensive scheme and two other starters that could score regularly, instead of Nance and Leaky the numbers would've been much better. You don't have to take my word for it. On one of the call in shows the Duke players said they knew every set play that Hubert called. No creativity at all, playing to slow, and no rest for the starters.
Yet again I could not agree more, would really like to see you post more! KUDOS!
Love’s shot against Duke to end K’a career should always leave him in good graces with UNC fans. That’s as epic as epic can be in the rivalry.
I think a few things (fair or unfair) led to the perception of many.
1) He always looks unhappy. Hen he’s on the bench, in the game, etc. I don’t think it’s always the case, he can’t help that.
2) He came in with high expectations (potential 1 and done) and never lived up to that except in small windows.
3) He happened to play in the transition of two styles (Roy and Hubert)
4) The second half meltdown against Kansas where he kept chucking bad shots.
5) His basketball IQ doesn’t match his talent
6) He is sloppy with the ball and forces things for himself instead of using his skills to get others involved.
7) He shoots way too much
8) He was one of the best players on a historically underachieving team.
There are more, but overall I think Love did earn his place in UNC history. I hate it’s ending how it is and even yet so many fans (myself included) were just ready for his time here to be done. I think he shouldered the blame more than he should, but he’s an easy target.
He’s not a typical rah rah teammate, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a good teammate. Only the guys can answer that.
I wish him well and hope he achieves his dreams.

Excellent points. Well said.
I agree that I hate for things to end this way. Other than one or two guys, I don't like seeing a Heel leave. But it is probably the best for both sides.
I wish Caleb the best, but sure hope we don't have to play against him.
Was reading some articles where Indiana is going to be a major players with Love, which someone posted earlier that would be the scenario. Still not sure if Missouri is completely out of it just yet, but probably expect a swift decision from him in the coming weeks.
