Deja Kelly back at her natural position, excited for ‘freshman year, part 2’

Posted Oct 14, 2021
This season feels like a new beginning for North Carolina sophomore guard Deja Kelly. There was nothing normal about her freshman season spent in a bubble with her Tar Heel teammates, taking classes virtually and playing in front of nearly empty arenas. "Basically, I feel like a freshman again, honestly," Kelly said Wednesday at ACC Tipoff in Charlotte. (Tar Heel Tribune)
