If he has a scholarship offer from Kentucky, I would be amazed if he turns it down to go elsewhere! :0
A Rivals premium article from 8/7/08 on Chris Colvin doesn't look so good for Bradley.

Here is what Colvin now says about his top schools--
Colvin wants to take some official visits this fall, as he has only been on an unofficial visit to Florida State this summer. Although he hasn't yet decided on his visit dates, the 2009 point guard has three schools on top of his list.
"I just got a call from Baylor University , Florida State, and USC, those are the top three I'm looking at right now," Colvin said. "The other schools are still in the running, but those are the top three. Providence , Kentucky , Nebraska , Colorado , the University of Illinois , Minnesota , those are the main ones. I'm going to try and take some visits and then make a decision sometime in September. We're going to take some officials in September."
Colvin plans on taking the visits next month and making a fairly quick decision, so he spoke about what is he looking for on his upcoming visits.
"When I look at a school I meet with the academic advisor and look at what type of support I'm going to get education wise," Colvin said. "I'll look at how the campus is, how the coaches are, and how I fit in."

The latest on one-time BU recruit Chris Colvin-
The Illinois Scout site has a new premium article and he names his top 3 schools. He names USC, Illinois, and Kentucky, but he does not clarify which schools have offered scholarships. He does say Illinois has, but do they even have any more scholarships for 2009?--

The Illini are definitely on Colvin??™s list of schools, which also include Florida State, NIU, USC, Providence, and Kentucky. But there are three that could be placed on a higher plateau.
???My favorite list of schools right now is USC, Illinois and Kentucky,??? Colvin said. ???I??™m not sure which schools have actually offered. My dad has all that information, but I do know Illinois did offer. It??™s not that I??™m not comfortable with Illinois; I??™m just waiting and weighing my options to see what the best thing is for me right now.???
Although the Illini have commitments from other talented guards in the classes of 2009 and 2010, that isn??™t weighing heavily on Colvin??™s mind. ???I know they signed three guards, but what I??™m more worried about is what school I??™m going to pick,??? Colvin stated.

Chris Colvin says he has made his decision, and will announce it on Nov. 12th, and sign on the final day of the November signing period, Nov. 19th.
It's a premium article--
http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/810148.html
He says--
???I sat down with my parents and I think we came up with a decision on what school I??™m going to go to and I??™m going to sign on the 19th,??? Colvin said. ???The visits that I??™ve taken have been good. I??™m going to verbal on the 12th and sign on the 19th.???
Colvin, a standout at Chicago (Ill.) Whitney Young, said he will pick either Iowa State, Providence, Illinois, Marquette, USC or Connecticut.
He talked a little about how much he enjoyed his trip to Iowa State, so that might be a hint where he will decide?

"Vogrich will put his signature on a letter of intent for Michigan on Wednesday, the opening of the early-signing period for high school athletes nationwide.
Colvin will announce his college decision on Nov. 19 from among Illinois, Southern California, Connecticut, Washington State, Iowa State, Marquette and Providence."
