Shay-Lee Kirby gives Youngstown State a savvy, tough-minded guard who can score in bunches
Kirby has been a dependable two-way backcourt piece for Youngstown State, with a 2023-24 season line of 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, while also flashing big-shot ability with a career-high 24 points and five made 3s in a February 2024 game. She fits teams that value mature decision-making, perimeter shooting, defensive activity and steady minutes; the kind of guard who makes a lineup feel cleaner, meaner and harder to press. In short: she’s not just a stat sheet guard — she brings composure and edge.
