Arizona Wildcats star Caleb Love on Wednesday announced his decision regarding the NBA Draft.
Love announced in a video he will return to Arizona for one more season, taking advantage of his fifth year of eligibility. He had declared for the draft in April, but maintained his eligibility.

“Wildcat Nation, it’s been so amazing the way you’ve welcomed me and showered me with love. No way I can walk away from all of that right now. The show goes on,” Love said in the video.
Love was unlikely to be a first-round pick, so a return to Arizona makes sense. He averaged 18 points per game with the Wildcats last season, his first with Arizona after transferring from North Carolina.
Love’s stock was a bit higher a few years ago, when he played a big role on a Tar Heels team that made it to the national championship game. He ultimately decided to leave North Carolina after the 2022 season.
Arizona should be a strong contender next season with Love back in the fold alongside backcourt mate Jaden Bradley.
