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.

looks like espn picked up the "rumor" about Love going pro too, from the AP.
makes me wonder two things. 1. why would someone put out such a rumor, and 2. what would be the purpose of denying his intentions at this point? Not trying to ascertain any implications from his mother, just curious... and hopeful.

I think the best we can hope for is the "dont hire an agent yet; dip his toe in the water to test the temperature" scenario. Maybe if it doesnt look like he'll be a lottery pick, he might re-think leaving early. I think only if he hears it from the NBA... "better wait one more year Kevin", will he stay. Even then, he still might say, "screw it, where do I sign"?
