The Ducks get Love
Oregon announced Tuesday the National Letter of Intent signing of Kenny Love, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Casper College in Wyoming.
Love, a native of South Bend, Ind., has three seasons of eligibility left after helping Casper to an 18-12 record in 2003. He averaged 14 points, four rebounds and three assists for the Thunderbirds.
“I liked the guys and they like me,” Love told the Casper Star-Tribune. “I think with the players that coach Ernie (Kent) has coming in, we can make a good tournament run.”
Love came out of John Adams High School, where he averaged 16.7 points, eight rebounds and four steals per game as a senior.
Love is expected to back up Oregon point guard Aaron Brooks, who missed 10 games due to a broken wrist but was effective when starting for the Ducks this past season.
Love joins Redmond native Maarty Leunen; Richmond, Texas native Chamberlain Oguchi; and North Hollywood, Calif. native Bryce Taylor as members of Oregon’s current recruiting class.
