The biggest off-season story in the MVC remains unfinished. Indiana State is still waiting on a ruling on Jake Kelly’s eligibility. He is a transfer from Iowa who has
asked the NCAA to make him eligible this season (Kelly’s mother died in 2008 and his father lives in Terre Haute). If he plays, Indiana State likely gets a major boost from an honorable mention All-Big 10 selection. Playing in a high-profile conference doesn’t automatically mean a player will shine in the MVC. We’ve seen them play well (Kyle Wilson at WSU) and play little (Carlton Reed, UNI). Kelly, from all appearances, would make a good backcourt even better.
