Ryan Kelly, the Rivals.com No. 8 power forward for the Class of 2009, will be announcing his college choice Thursday on ESPN at 6 p.m., according to Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.net.

Notre Dame coach Mike Brey has been hard after the North Carolina native, and the Irish are one of the finalists for Kelly.

Kelly will pick between North Carolina, Duke, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Georgetown, multiple Web sites are reporting.

If Notre Dame lands Kelly, it would be a huge commitment -- and part of what Brey has been talking about in increasing his basketball program's profile.

So far, they've done it by winning games, by playing a tougher schedule and now, making a recruiting run at top players.
