LSU’s battle-tested frontcourt scorer with All-SEC pedigree
In the 2002-03 season, Aiysha Smith was LSU’s second-leading scorer at 13.2 points per game and added 5.6 rebounds per game, earning third-team All-SEC honors from the AP. She brought a pro-ready interior game, plus the kind of toughness that shows up in the margins: she started all 34 games, scored in double figures 26 times, and closed strong with eight straight double-figure outings. The bigger differentiator is her combination of size, consistency, and late-game reliability — exactly the kind of forward who fits winning basketball.
