About Darryelle

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I like to think a few moves ahead, take calculated risks and go all in when it counts. Whether it’s a team game or solo, I stay calm under pressure and always play to win — but I never forget to have fun!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m grounded and grateful for every opportunity I get. I know there’s always more to learn, so I stay coachable and keep pushing myself. I bring energy, passion, and heart to everything I do — not just to win, but to grow. I’m confident in who I am, but I never let ego get in the way of the team.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I’m actively involved in the Black Student Union and the National Honor Music Society. I earned 1st place at the IHSA Music Competition and proudly serve as a Fenwick Shield Leader, helping guide and support my peers.Outside of school, I volunteer with nonprofit organizations that feed the homeless and support mothers who have lost children to gun violence. Giving back to my community is important

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through my role as a Fenwick Shield Leader and as a teammate on and off the court, I've grown as a leader. I’ve learned the value of communication, resilience, and serving others through community work. These experiences have helped shape me into someone who leads with heart and works hard for what she believes in.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, I’ve faced significant challenges that shaped who I am today. During my sophomore year, I lost my best friend to cancer, and just a few months later, my great-grandmother also passed away. These losses were tough, but they taught me the value of resilience, faith, and cherishing every moment. They also deepened my commitment to live with purpose and be a source of strength for others

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that feels like a community — a place that values academic excellence, supports student-athletes, and encourages leadership and service. I want a school where I can grow both on and off the court, surrounded by people who challenge me, support me, and share a commitment to making a difference.

An aggressive and physical defender who thrives against elite matchups. She would have bigger numbers on another team but is a key cog in the Kenwood machine. A fun player to watch. Her impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. She brings energy and toughness on every possession, raising the level of everyone around her.

Smith has been a bright spot for Kenwood this year, and showed a similar impact during AAU ball as well. She’s a lengthy player who could be relied on for the defensive end, as well as for an offensive output. Her work on the boards and how relentless she is, is what I believe should have coaches really interested.

Smith has shown improvement in both her skills and IQ each time that I’ve watched her over a year. She has the athletic length but the build that most D1 coaches love to have. The potential is there.

Darryelle was a game changer throughout the weekend for Chicago Hoops Express . She gave the team an offensive rebounding and defensive presence that was crucial to their run to the Championship Game. Darryelle pursued rebounds with a relentless effort that ended in many free throws and put-backs throughout the weekend. She drives through gaps like a running back. Darryelle finished athletic layups and delivered great dump-off passes to teammates when the help defense arrived. She used excellent pivots to score off two feet and climbed way up the ladder to score an offensive rebound tip-in. Darryelle had great defensive awareness off the ball, denying passes with her outside hand in a textbook stance. She created many steals on defense, and her aggressiveness inside forced the opponent to foul. Darryelle made seven free throws in the Championship game, and her contributions in every area earned an All-Tournament First Team selection.

Smith is well on her way to being a legit prospect in this class, and she showed that in almost every game that I caught of hers. She has all the intangibles that make up for a college player. Regardless of the division that she ends up in, her skill set can be utilized in all types of systems.
