Kandyce Smith’s relentless Lady Rebels legacy still jumps off the page
Kandyce Smith is best remembered at UNLV as a tough, versatile guard-forward who outworked bigger reputations and, in the 2016-17 season, averaged 9.6 points and 8.3 rebounds while becoming just the second player in Mountain West history to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Her edge was motor, rebounding, and winning habits, not flash—she brought a blue-collar, dependable presence that coaches love and opponents feel. If you want a multi-position competitor who impacts a game with effort, toughness, and consistency, she’s the kind of player who fits almost anywhere.
