North Carolina guard Caleb Love is returning for his junior season. Getting Love back is a huge boost for the Tar Heels after their improbable run to the NCAA championship game. He announced his decision in a social-media video on Sunday, the last day for players to declare themselves eligible for the NBA draft. With Love’s return, the Tar Heels will bring back every starter except floor-stretching big man Brady Manek. Love was considered a potential second-round NBA draft pick. He has athleticism and game-changing scoring potential that was critical to the Tar Heels reaching a record 21st Final Four in coach Hubert Davis’ debut season.
