Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

I know he is from the BIG BAD BIG TENELEVEN, but he won't be first team...

Young
Eldridge
Odiakosa
Koch
Ahelegbe

I am not sure he will be 2nd team either...

Dillard
Eglseder
Murray
Marshall
Stinnett

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

He could easily bump out Stinnett.

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

Then I give you Bocot, Carter, Maniscalco, Fay...

There is a ton of talent in this league...

On pre-season first team when he has never even played a Valley game? I don't think so. He may very well earn himself onto the all conference honors after the season, but there is no way he will be pre-season all conference.

I don't care if he is pre-season all american. He is still an average MVC caliber player

He's not average. He is a good player, as is Tony Freeman. But both of them are far from being locks to be all conference.

Being good makes him an average MVC player. The MVC has loads of talent, however, Major Conference fans won't admit it.

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

im really surprised you guys feel this way. he lit up uni the last two years. there is no one in the MVC that can match his size at PG and he averaged over 20 PPG after moving to PG last year.

i honestly cant believe you have josh young on that list but yet call kelly average. that is just a complete lack of basketball knowledge.

And you wonder why people get pissed about your posts being biased toward that coralville team?

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

what does this have to with coralville? the point is that hes in the valley now and we have to play him twice.

Re: Jake Kelly eligible for Trees this year

IMO, Kelly will be a very, very good player in the Valley. Not too many 6'6" small forwards in the league that can play at his level. There are more than in the past, but he's still a good talent in the league. He won't be preseason all-conference, but he makes Indiana State a very tough team. Marshall, Stinson, Kelly, Martin, and Richard is a very good starting five. I really like the Trees' team.
