This feels like Kenny Love all over again... KENNY LOVE One of Oregon's priorities this off-season has been to find a capable backup for starting point guard Aaron Brooks. On Monday, the Ducks got what they were looking for from the junior college ranks. Kenny Love, a heady 6-2, 180-pound point guard from Casper (WY) College inked his signature on an LOI and will head to Eugene in the fall. "He's going to Oregon," said Casper assistant coach Doug Stewart. "He officially signed today."Love chose Oregon over an offer from Tulsa and had made official visits to both campuses. Stewart noted that Love fell in love with the Oregon campus and was enamored with the level of competition he'd get there as well. "He really wanted to play in the Pac-10," said Stewart. "The reason he came here (to Casper) was so he could move up to a better situation. He's looking forwards to that challenge."
Stewart noted that while Love started at the point for Casper, he also saw a good amount of time at the two and three positions for the Thunderbirds. Love will likely see time not only as Brooks' backup, but will also play in the backcourt alongside at times. "He's a glue piece," said Stewart. "He's a very heady player, a cerebral point guard with a high basketball IQ. The coaches at Oregon liked that and his versatility."
Love, who prepped at Adams HS in South Bend, Indiana, competed as a freshman this past season at Casper, so he will have three years of eligibility remaining at Oregon. He averaged 13.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists during 2003-04 campaign.
MALCOLM ARMSTEAD: Offers from: Arkansas, Kentucky, Washington State, Wichita State, Colorado, Fresno State, Arkansas, St. Johns, Oregon, Iowa, and Providence. Kansas and Florida were both recruiting him too. This season Armstead has meshed well with a talented team and become more of a pure point guard in leading his team to a 28-1 record.
"He doesn't turn the ball over and he is super efficient. He has a 5:1 assist to turnover ratio on the year in league play," Heiar said. "When you have someone like him running your team, it makes life a lot easier because he stays composed and he is always under control. He can shoot the ball, but he is really a pass first point guard. Last night was a perfect example. He has 13 points in the game and in the last five minutes we were down by three and he takes control and scores nine straight points and dishes out a couple of assists."COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLAYERS IMO.

Love's only other offer was Tulsa. Malcolm has offers from over 10 teams, and about half of them are damn good.

I just think that our team is in the pooper and is not likely to emerge out until either players develop or ernie leaves

They are combined from scout and rivals. iowa.scout.com/2/841646.htmlThat's a big piece on him that talks about his offers and what not. A little older, but ya.
