North Carolina senior center Maria Gakdeng is confident. She's positive. She's boisterous. She yields her iPad with ease as she documents off-court life and teammate interactions. Even after a loss to South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament last season, Gakdeng still had confidence. And no one who has watched her YouTube vlogs can deny that. (Daily Tar Heel)
