Ariannah Smith Ariannah Smith 5'7" | CG West Feliciana | 2028 State LA made sure her presence was felt at LSU Team Camp. The long, athletic Class of 2028 guard played with confidence, attacked the floor with purpose, and showed the kind of upside that immediately grabs attention.
Smith used her length and explosiveness to get downhill, rise over defenders, and finish around the basket. She was not afraid of contact and consistently put pressure on the defense with aggressive drives. When defenders backed off, she showed confidence in her pull-up jumper and gave flashes of a developing scoring package that could become dangerous.
What separated Smith was her ability to impact more than one area of the game. She rebounded above her position, competed against bigger players, and used her athleticism to create extra possessions. Defensively, her length allowed her to bother ball handlers, challenge shots, and cover ground quickly.
Smith played with energy, toughness, and a fearless mindset throughout the event. She looked comfortable on the big stage and showed that she has the tools to become a serious two-way problem as her skill set continues to grow.
LSU Team Camp was another strong step forward for Smith. With her athleticism, length, scoring potential, and competitive edge, she is a stock-rising prospect in Louisiana’s 2028 class who deserves plenty of attention.
