Women's basketball signs Aaliyah Henderson, Shanel Reid

DALLAS (SMU) – Following last season's highly anticipated signing class, SMU Head Coach Toyelle Wilson announced the first two members of her second recruiting class as Mustangs' head coach Wednesday.

Wilson inked a pair of guards to a National Letter of Intent, signing Aaliyah Henderson (Norman, Okla.) and Shanel Reid (Austin, Texas).

"I'm really excited about the two signees in the 2022 class," Wilson said. "They add athleticism, an offensive threat and a defensive presence to our team. They bring everything I look for in a player both on and off the court."

Aaliyah Henderson, 5-7, Guard, Norman, Okla./Norman High School
Henderson, a three-year letterwinner for Norman High School ranks in the top-five in Oklahoma for the class of 2022 at the point-guard position. She earned two All-Central Oklahoma Athletic Conference Selections, including first team in 2022. Her team won the 2021 Oklahoma 6A State Title after qualifying for the state tournament the previous year, before it was cancelled due to COVID-19. Her other accolades include Joe Lawson All Tournament First Team, Bruce Gray Invitational All Tournament MVP, 56th Annual Tournament of Champions All-Tournament First Team, Big All City Second Team, The Oklahoman Super 5 Honorable Mention, a two-time All-Oklahoma Honorable mention. In the classroom, Henderson entered her senior campaign for accuracy.

"Aaliyah is a scoring point guard that can flat out score the ball," Wilson said. "She brings a defensive mentality we need on our team. She has instant energy and quickness that will help our team on both sides of the ball. Aaliyah won a state championship and knew what it takes to win. She is a proven winner and I'm excited for Mustang Nation to see her on the court."

Shanel Reid, 5-11, Guard, Austin High School/Austin, Texas
Reid, a three-year letterwinner for Austin High School earned All-Texas First Team Honors twice, an All-Texas Academic First Team Accolade, All-Region First Team in 2021-22, All-District First Team Selection and 2019-20 district newcomer of the year and offensive MVP.

"Shanel is a 6-0 wing with a smooth game that will bring size and athleticism to our back court," Wilson said. "She can shoot the three, get to the rim and has a great midrange game. She handles the ball well and is an incredible passer. The best part of her game is how versatile she is from the perimeter. When I got to see her in person, she made a huge impact for her team on and off the ball. She will have a chance to make an immediate impact with the system we run here at SMU."
