Kelly Graves Scores Massive Commitment
Oregon women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves has been active in the transfer portal. But his latest commitment might be his biggest yet.
Graves has secured a commitment from former North Carolina standout Deja Kelly. The 5-foot-8 guard was a four-year starter for the Tar Heels.
Kelly announced three days ago via her social media account she would be entering the transfer portal.
“I am forever indebted to the University of North Carolina, the women’s basketball program, and greater Chapel Hill community for your hospitality and four years of amazing memories together,” Kelly wrote, in part. “With that being said, all good things must come to an end. I believe it is time to move on, but please know Chapel Hill will always and forever be my home.”
Kelly, a 5-foot-8 senior from Texas, averaged 15.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game during her career in Chapel Hill, where she started all four years and led the Tar Heels in scoring the past three.
She has a fifth year option because of the Covid-19 pandemic season.
