Regarding Jake Kelly, he isn't a high priority recruit and I think that he has pretty much made up his mind regarding his top 5 being Dayton, Valpo, Iowa, St. Louis, and BC. I think it will probably be Dayton where he finally decides to go.
One thing I need to caution is that I have found from talking to the coaching staff and other college coaches/sources that Rivals and Scout aren't always completely accurate on the possible recruits. Just because we call a player once doesn't mean that we are recruiting him. I've noticed a lot of players are listed on Rivals and Scout as having offers from ISU and being heavily recruited by us but the sources I have talked to absolutely deny the info posted.
I would believe what Chris or Paul post regarding recruits but I would take what you see on their respective networks in general with a grain of salt. The networks are updated by people completely out of the loop and often don't correct their mistakes. I think Chris and Paul know who is actively being recruited but the networks are very outdated and often completely incorrect. One example is Jacob Pullen. I have confirmed since the beginning that he is not being recruited by us as a priority at all and has not been offered, yet Scout has listed him as having an offer from us for the past two months. I know that Chris corrected himself and said that Jacob had not been offered but the network never corrected it on their end.
I think that's a big part of the reason I like being independent from a network, I have control over that stuff at my level
