Thought this might be of interest--sheds just a little more light on why Love picked UNC.

"I talked to a source in the know of Love’s recruitment before he committed and was told that while MU had a great pitch, one of the small issues with the Tigers’ situation was that the team is absolutely loaded in the backcourt, while the Tar Heels can pitch him a starting spot. Barring attrition, MU will return all of its guards and wings next season and is really only at risk of losing its frontcourt players to graduation or possibly going pro. North Carolina will likely lose point guard Cole Anthony to the NBA after this season, giving Love an immediate starting spot. My final take on the situation is that I think it’s a when, not an if, Cuonzo Martin lands a top-tier recruit out of St. Louis. It reminds me a lot of Barry Odom’s “Tiger 10,” which he appears to have rebounded well from. The Tigers are making an effort in St. Louis and there will be a time when it pays off."
Also a nugget on Bradford:
" I still think MU winds up with Davion Bradford when it’s all said and done. I don’t know if MU will chase another post player outside of Bradford, regardless of where he decides to go."
