Kansas basketball offers top 25 recruit Langston Love

Kansas basketball has officially offered Langston Love, a four-star guard in the class of 2021. Love could really help KU after the graduation of Marcus Garrett.

Last night, four-star recruit Langston Love announced that he’d received an offer from Bill Self and Kansas basketball. Love is ranked as the No. 25 overall recruit in the class of 2021 by 247 Sports. So far, he’s received offers from schools like Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, UCLA, Villanova, and Wake Forrest.

Love’s listed at six-foot-four and 190 pounds. 247 Sports‘ evaluation calls him a “natural shooter” but “not a huge playmaker for others.” Jerry Meyer also makes a note about how well Love rebounds for his position, and that he’s also a “tough defender.”

For Kansas basketball, having a knockdown shooter is something the team has lacked in recent years; however, with the development of Christian Braun and possibly the signing of Love, that could change.

Here is Langston Love’s offer announcement post from his Twitter:

As of now, the Jayhawks don’t have a single commitment from the class of 2021. While that may sound like something to worry about, it’s important to remember that it’s still early in the process. The vast majority of prospects that KU basketball has offered in the class have yet to commit anywhere, so the Jayhawks could very well come away with a solid class.

Especially if Love decides he wants to be a Jayhawk.

This should be an interesting recruiting battle, with Love having offers from 70 percent of the Big 12 now plus Villanova and UCLA. The offers are bound to keep rolling in too, so Bill Self and his staff will have their work cut out for them.

Langston Love would be a great addition to KU basketball. He’s obviously got the talent, and having a shooter that can also play solid defense would be a great addition in 2021 after the graduation of Marcus Garrett.
