Jalisha Smith brings veteran forward toughness to Eastern Illinois
Jalisha Smith is a seasoned Eastern Illinois forward whose calling card has been rebound-driven physicality and a knack for stepping up in big moments; in the 2016 season, she posted a career night with 19 points and 17 rebounds, showing real interior presence and motor. She fits best as a hard-nosed, low-maintenance frontcourt piece who can battle on the glass, finish through contact, and give a team toughness that doesn’t always show up in highlight reels.
