Marshall University’s star basketball player James Kelly is on track to becoming something special.
The red-shirt junior recently registered his 10th consecutive double-double of the season against Old Dominion University. Even more impressive, Kelly landed the game-clinching 3-point shot against the Monarchs to give his team the victory.
Though his future looks bright, the power forward had to overcome obstacles to get to this point.
Kelly joined the Herd after departing from the University of Miami men’s basketball team in 2014 and was forced to sit out last season at Marshall because of NCAA regulations.
“It was mind-boggling because I wanted to be on the court, but I couldn’t when they were down,” Kelly said.
