Quarterback Russell Wilson is still mulling his options -- pro baseball or college football, the University of Wisconsin or Auburn -- but one thing apparently has changed.

His timetable.

After the former North Carolina State standout visited the UW campus earlier this month, he apparently indicated that July 4 was his target date for making a decision.

A source close to the situation said Tuesday that Wilson will likely announce his intentions before July 1, possibly this week.

Wilson was a three-year starter and all-Atlantic Coast Conference performer at N.C. State who was granted his release by the school after last season. Wolfpack coach Tom O'Brien was unsuccessful in getting Wilson to focus on football instead of splitting time with baseball, which led O'Brien to choose another starting quarterback and part ways with Wilson.

Because Wilson has his undergraduate degree and a year of athletic eligibility remaining, he can transfer to another school and play immediately as long as that team isn't in the ACC or on the N.C. State schedule -- per O'Brien -- and offers a graduate degree program not available at N.C. State.

The source reiterated that Wilson is not in conflict with the Colorado Rockies, the National League team that tabbed the second base prospect in the fourth round of the 2010 draft. Wilson currently plays in the minor leagues in Asheville, N.C., and multiple reports have suggested the Major League Baseball club isn't happy with his plan to leave his farm team during the season and return to college.
