“Jerron Love Wants To Represent Puerto Rico
Those of us who follow elite youth teams and players have known about Jerron Love for a minute now.
The Youtube sensation has had basketball insiders and bloggers talking and writing about him for years.
IPRB was able to confirm through Senior Advisor to the President of Puerto Rico’s Basketball Federation, Todd Washington, that Love is half Puerto Rican ( his mother is Puerto Rican).
Washington said, “I met with Jerron’s father while I was in NYC this week and they are interested in having him represent Puerto Rico and hopefully playing on a team next summer.
The kid is a game changer who could come in and probably start for the 16U National Team. He’s that good!”
IPRB talked to several NYC AAU coaches who confirmed that Love has all the tools to be one of the greats!
He is a fierce competitor, loves the game, understands that there are no shortcuts to success and has a strong family led by his father.
He could be a great addition to the PR National Team program.

That’s really cool. The guys from the Puerto Rico National team called me when I was at Stanford. I couldn’t play on their team b/c I am half Cuban, not Puerto Rican.
Regarding Jerron, this is significant in a number of ways. Usually guys ask for dual citizenship after they leave college. If they get dual citizenship they don’t count against the quota in most foreign countries. When I played in Spain, you could only have 2 Americans per team. I tried to get a Spanish passport but it was impossible even though I traced my lineage back to Spain.
The difference in earning potential is significant…
