Kim Barnes Arico On Smith: "Shenneika has the ability to be one of the best wings in the country. Her toughest challenge this year will be to maintain a certain level of consistency night in and night out. We need her to average a double-double for us to be successful, so she wants and expects to step up her game for her junior season. In addition to her scoring and rebounding, Shenneika is a sensational passer with a great feel for the game. She truly loves to play basketball, and when she is on her game she is fascinating to watch. We have to make sure that she brings her game every night."
