The Elevate Basketball Circuit is a spring hoops series that pits some of the nation’s top prep club programs against each other. It was put together by a man named David Kelly Sr., a Lousville, Kent. based promoter who set up the tournament and collected registration fees from far more than 1,000 teams.

Yet, apparently that’s where the Elevate Basketball Circuit ceased to exist, quite literally. As made clear by Spencer Pulliam of ThePrepInsiders.com, Kelly Sr. closed the circuit’s Atlanta event, only the second in the circuit’s history, without informing teams that had paid some $1,600 per group that the event was not going forward

According to others who had attended the first Elevate Basketball Circuit event, which was held the last weekend in March, that event was so disorganized that it was less than a shock to some that the entire organization may have been a scam.

So far, Kelly Sr. appears to be attempt a quick retreat into hiding. The entire web presence of Elevate Basketball Circuit, including its web site and Facebook profile, have been scrubbed from the internet.
