Shenneika Smith brings St. John’s pedigree, defensive grit, and pro-tested leadership
A decorated St. John’s alum who became the program’s second-ever WNBA draft pick, Shenneika Smith is known for toughness, recruiting savvy, and player development more than box-score flash. In her Red Storm career, she scored 1,727 points and grabbed 783 rebounds, led the team in scoring in each of her final three seasons, and earned WBCA All-America honorable mention plus two All-BIG EAST First Team nods. That combo of production, intensity, and elite program familiarity makes her a strong fit for a staff or a team culture that values edge, accountability, and high-level experience.
