Dohn: NOT SO FAST ON LOVE edit: NO SO FAST ON COLLISON EITHER
Brian Dohn just spoke to Kevin Love's mom:
I just got off the phone with Kevin Love's mother and she was adamant no decision was yet made, and was disappointed about reports she called "false" that her son already told UCLA coach Ben Howland he was leaving.Update: Brian Dohn also just spoke to Darren Collison:
I just got off the phone with Darren Collison, who said the report he was leaving early for the NBA draft "is not true. I haven't even talked to my parents yet." I posted a small EAPoe comment earlier based on the idea that LA Times wouldn't risk their reputation by reporting something so big without confirmation, but now I realize that LA Times doesn't have a reputation to risk.Obviously if Kevin Love stays, the implications will be huge.
If Collison stays, the implications will be huge. Expanding this will result in filler text to meet the minimum character requirement.

They always deny

why would they deny now that the season is over
They could still go, but that doesn't mean the times had the story right. Since its the times, my guess is their source is Tim Floyd.

The problem with this is
Collison's denial does sound pretty genuine though. "I haven't even talked to my parents yet."

I don't necessarily think Doh!n is wrong
However, in the end, I believe both will be gone, and that's all that really matters.

Howland's Presser today
by gbruin on Apr 9, 2008 2:28 AM PDT 0 recs
Seen this movie before
Westbrook is about 98% gone too. That 2% I'm leaving to the small chance that he may just decide to "test the waters", not hire an agent, have a bad workout in front of NBA scouts, etc....
At this point we should just consider losing those three a given, hope that it stops there, and move on.
by godblesstyus95 on Apr 9, 2008 5:23 AM PDT 0 recs
Expect this not to drag on and on..
If they stay, then Howland and UCLA can make plans for the Fall. If they don't stay, then he can contact, notify, and pursue potential replacement recruits.

This is all just a guess...
Love will definitely go to the camp and test the waters, but he won't hire an agent I feel right away...leaving us all hanging...

Prof 66 though, we knew all year he was gone. Hopefully the Trojie Times will draft him to run that brilliantly conceived combined UCLA-$cjc blog.

Which reminds me of a true story
And on a side note, I think I am taking way too much heat here. I am not declaring for the draft, and in fact have four years of eligibility left. Unfortunately, I doubt that I could get into the school with my high school GPA and my SAT scores.
