Riley Smith gives CMU a stretch-forward spark with upside
In the 2025-26 season, Riley Smith showed a useful two-way forward profile for Central Michigan before an injury ended her year early: she scored 13 points in the opener at Georgia Southern and had been averaging 11.9 minutes per game before the setback. At 6-foot-2, she brings size, perimeter touch, and early-career poise, with moments like a 7-point burst and key threes against Michigan highlighting her ability to change the tempo. The big swing skill is availability—if she’s healthy, she looks like a smart fit for a team that wants floor spacing from a forward.
