I would assume (hope) this is a depth take. He’s barely top 500
This isn't a shot at you. People you need to go watch Tape and look at the measurements people tell you from camps. This kid had a Meniscus injury after 3 games. hes 5'11" 215 ringing 4.4-4.5. rankings arent final they have an entire senior year. this entire process has been sped up to like Texas use to be with Mack brown. Thats fine but you better be on with your evaluations. Look at DJU and imagine how much he would've made today being a top 5 player. JJ Finch just got invited to the Navy game and was a priority for Michigan Miami etc will not stay a 3 star is what im saying. enjoy the ride

Gotta let go of what you used to know about recruiting.he came to camp, worked out and from all reports blew it up. Ran a 4.4 and was teammates with Justin Hill fwiw and had players pushing hard to get him commited.
To your point, here is a recent review of Kelley. BTW, Cam Calhoun also went to his high school along with Justin Hill. Moving on up....

"Kelley was fantastic at the Under Armour Regional in the spring. He was 6-foot-3 1/2, 180 pounds with a 4.49 laser forty and 4.34 shuttle. Those are elite numbers. Having seen him on film and 7-on-7, we know he can cover ground quickly whether that's to get to a ball in the air or to close on a running back. He has great physical traits and showed instincts also. He has some filling in to do but that's the easy part. For Rutgers, adding high-end traits like his to the secondary is important and this is a kid who also made a lot of plays for a good team against good competition. For Rutgers, he projects as a rangy center field their type of free safety, which fits in well with this class given the other back end talent the Scarlet Knights have. He has slightly different dimensions and style play than their other two safeties they are bringing in."

"I think there's a standard, obviously," he told Bama247 after that memorable trip. "That's Alabama's whole thing. Everyone who goes there lives up to it and they are all on the same page throughout the building. We were walking through and even the defensive coordinator came up to me and told me I did great at camp. It was probably like five minutes after camp. They all knew already. I think it's just crazy how on the same page everyone is really set up to the mission. Just super cool."
