He ain’t transferring to play off-guard.

No but we have that FCO attitude. Love is an upgrade over Dug. It wouldn’t be that much different than bringing in Llewellyn for Collins.

They didn’t care if Collins left, and Llewellyn wasn’t a Molotov cocktail being thrown in the locker room

He already has been one for 3 years.

Love is more like the Emoni bates discussion. Obv different but along those lines.

I for one am not convinced Caleb Love is actually good but hey if we lose HD, Kobe, and Jett he’d be worth a swing

Caleb Love is but.t

I’ve apparently missed all the rumors about UNC all year, but I’ll just say Caleb seems to have lots of talent, but is a serious chucker with little idea how to play with others.

he shoots his shot!

He was also a lead guard on a team that was a few minutes away from a national title.Hopefully Kobe comes back and they don’t need to hunt for big time guard.

Kobe returns-excellent
Find another decent solid guard for 16-20 mpg to pair with Dug/Kobe that’s good and see in GW can learn and maybe get minutes.

Kobe doesn’t return you need to look at Krissa/Love etc


I’m not on board with Llewellyn returning in the slightest. The hope is he could be Quinerly. Of course he has Miller/Clowney/Bediako/Bradley/Sears and others. Llewellyn isn’t walking in with that situation. Also if you’re doubling down on Llewellyn with no Kobe then you’re asking him to play 30mpg that’s a lot to ask.

Must be nice to be Kansas

Caleb Love is not good. He’s a “shooting guard” with one season out of three where his 3 point percentage reached even 30%, a career overall field goal percentage of 36%, a career offensive efficiency rating of 97, and an assist to turnover ratio of about 1.2 to 1 despite playing alongside a crazy number of offensive weapons. And all that doesn’t even take into account his reputation as a locker room issue. Dug has a lot of areas he needs to improve, but I, for one, wouldn’t consider Love an upgrade over Dug, or even an equal, despite his lofty recruiting rating and ability to create his own (often bad) shots. Nor would I consider him someone who would help us win a lot even if we lose Kobe—his college teams have been mediocre to bad other than one three week run.

It’s ironic that the last 2 years UNC/Michigan have been mirror images of themselves. The only different probably being that 3 week run and ending up ranked preseason #1 and declining the NIT which isn’t a big deal imo. I am merely saying if Kobe leaves the backcourt is a huge issue again upcoming and you pretty much have to scramble and look under every stone and not be picky.

Personally, I would take an up-transfer shooter—guys like Funk, Spencer, even Klesmit—over Love. Just turning over rocks to find big names who are inefficient ball hogs creates more problems than it solves IMO.

some guys are force multipliers - he seems like a force deadener. liable to make your team far less than the sum of its parts. and, as discussed, the sum of its parts already might be pretty low for michigan!

Fascinated to see how this one plays out. I really want to like him and think the upside is immense but it is a big step up. If he has relative success in the next 1-2 years there
 He’ll be the name in the market IMO.

It’s also a tougher job today then it was like 5 days ago.

Pitino is now at SJU. Cooley at GTown. Those have been the dregs of the new BE. If they’re successful a couple teams are gonna drop down. Seton Hall and Providence are probably candidates 1A and 1B

And yeah like you say if he’s any good he’s out of there so fast
