Yes, it fits with what I've heard. Kavanaugh did not have the same jurisprudential cred that Gorsuch, for example, did.
I did not have the impression that top candidates applied to Thomas, because he doesn't seem to get them, but maybe that's because they apply and he picks true believers instead. I have personally known two Thomas clerks who had solid but not outstanding credentials, were right-wing crazies, and who clearly underperformed their credentials in their subsequent careers.
