That's some good news for IU's chances to land him.

Would we rather have him or Love?

Both. 

But if I had to pick one, I'd say Love is my pick.

I’d take both in a heartbeat.

I like to close my eyes and envision a starting lineup of X, Love, Timberlake, Reneau, Shedrick

Or even X, Love, Ledlum, Reneau, Shedrick

Our best chance is with Love even assuming Timberlake wasn't bowled over by NC.

Virginia transfer Isaac Traudt has committed to Creighton

talk about going from one extreme to the other! Young Isaac will have to forget about that defense and remember how to shoot the ball!

Then there are these comments from Caleb Love's dad in the IndyStar:

"He wants to win," Dennis Love, Caleb's father, told IndyStar. "So, he wants to be on a team that plays in a manner that is open, right — not having a clogged lane. Being able to take advantage of his playmaking skills. A situation that allows him to show his skillset. He also wants to be in a situation, where he can be taught, man, improve his efficiency.

"He wants to be coached. He really wants to be coached and really have someone help him get better. And then he obviously wants to be in a situation that allows him to achieve his ultimate dream, his goal — to get to the league."

Sounds like Coach Woodson to me

Love can be coached hard. His HS coach for 3 years was Justin Tatum, Jayson’s father, who is a very, very tough coach.

I'd rather have Timberlake.

[Stuhoo 80,494]

Love, but if I we have a chance at either we should jump regardless of how it affects the others.

The article in the Athletic that was a post-mortum on the UNC season had a lot of comments from parents that seemed to lay a lot of blame on Hubert Davis for their chemistry issues.  
 

My instincts say Love is a poor fit with XJ. But he’s intriguing and has tons of talent. His father’s comments mostly seem reasonable. At the very least, he knows to say the right things. That makes me wonder if Woody might be the right type of coach to get through to Love . 
 

This is a fairly big inflection point for next season, imo. Big decision for Woody.

Is that Road to Zion guy on HSN usually right on things?

Not even reading into what that means for IU, those quotes are freakin' BRUTAL on Hubert Davis. My word.

A Johnson/Love backcourt would be explosive, good or bad.

And that might be accurate. Realisticallty, what are they gonna say? "My kids a selfish nightmare and ruined the season."

Ultimately the coach IS responsible, but that doesn't give the players a pass. UNC had a lot of experience and was coming off a NC game run. Plenty of blame to go around.
