Bragg to announce on Thursday

Another elite prospect who had intended to wait until after his senior season has decided to make his college decision. Five-star power forward Carlton Bragg will come off the board on Thursday.

Last week it was top 15 shooting guard Antonio Blakeney who shortened up the process and on Sunday Bragg became the latest prospect to speed up his process.

A 6-foot-9 senior at Cleveland (Ohio) Villa Angela St. Joseph, Bragg ranks No. 14 in the class of 2015 and will choose between Illinois, Kansas and Kentucky.

The news that Bragg will end his recruitment earlier than anticipated was confirmed to Rivals.com by Bragg's longtime mentor Michael Graves.

Per Graves, Bragg will make his decision public during a ceremony at his high school. The ceremony will take place at 2:45 pm ET and the decision is also expected to be broadcast on ESPNU. Over the weekend, Bragg was watched by John Calipari and an assistant from Illinois. Bill Self and an assistant were expected but didn't make it because of weather issues.
