Kevin Love To Announce Decision Tuesday

Announcement Update
Date & Time: July 25 (Tue) at 1:30PM PT
Location: Foothill High School in Las Vegas

Kevin Love will announce Tuesday whether he's goin' Hollywood or traveling Tobacco Road.

The 6-foot-10 forward from Lake Oswego, perhaps the No. 1 basketball prospect in the Class of 2007, said late Sunday that he plans to hold a news conference in Las Vegas between games of the Reebok Big Time, an Amateur Athletic Union tournament in which he's competing.

At the news conference, Love, the first-team Parade magazine All-American and reigning two-time Oregon Class 4A player of the year, will say whether he will attend UCLA or North Carolina.

It's a surprising development in Love's recruitment because he has said throughout the process that he would not make a decision until the fall, when prospects can take official visits. But Love said he had a change of heart last week.

"Something just clicked for me last week, and I decided it was time," Love said after leading the Southern California All-Stars to two victories Sunday. "When August comes around, I want to be stress-free, relaxed and ready to enjoy a couple of months off before basketball season."
