"New Throne," Kelly posted on X with an image of her sitting on a throne wearing a crown and a Ducks uniform.

Kelly averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 33 starts in 2023-24.

Over 121 games (120 starts) at UNC, the Texas native averaged 15.4 points, 3.5 boards, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals.

Ducks coach Kelly Graves has been active in the transfer portal, also landing Amina Muhammad (Texas), Salimatou Kourouma (Arizona), Ari Long (Washington), Nani Falatea (BYU), Alex Whitfield (UC Santa Barbara) and Elisa Mevius (Siena).
