Twitter reacts to Caleb Love committing to Arizona
The Caleb Love saga is officially over. The former Tar Heel announced his decision to join the Arizona Wildcats.
This college basketball offseason has been one to remember, with the transfer portal bringing and spitting out significant talent. One of the bigger shocks to enter the transfer portal was Love; many fans thought it would be another year at UNC or NBA bound.
Love caught major attention in the portal before announcing he would be Wolverine. Well, that lasted as long as the night before Christmas, with Love hitting the portal for a second time due to rumored admission issues.
Many thought that meant Love would be a lock for Missouri, his home state, or Indiana, which had shown interest in the star guard the first time in the portal. No one expected Love to lace up for Arizona, which elicited quite the reaction when he announced the next stop on his journey.

There’s no denying Love is an elite guard who can flip the switch in an instant. However, the move to Arizona is an intriguing play.
Let’s look at how Twitter reacted to Love joining the Wildcats.

#Arizona lands one of, if not the biggest name in the portal. Will be interesting to see how Love fits into the Wildcats’ system following a disappointing last season with the Tar Heels, where he shot only 30% from three-point range and was unable to lead them back to the NCAA… https://t.co/bRg1wsQ4qk

Spoke to Caleb's dad Dennis. Told me @ArizonaMBB lined up with everything Caleb stood for. Said things didn't work out with Michigan but the climate and culture at Arizona have been incredible. Teamates and coachs embraced him. Feels like he can improve his skillset and win. https://t.co/5DBpQVCtmN
