Delrecco Gillespie is a senior forward from Benton Harbor, Michigan, who is one of the rarest players in college basketball today — a four-year loyalist who never entered the transfer portal. He prepped at East Coweta High School in Georgia, where he averaged 13.7 points and 11.6 rebounds, ranked in the top 15 in Georgia in rebounding, and earned first-team All-State recognition. He committed to Kent State directly out of high school and has developed into one of the nation's premier double-double producers, earning MAC Player of the Week honors three times in the 2025-26 season alone. His commitment to Kent State is also personal — he lost his mother, Joi Whaley, when he was 13, and the team's nickname the "Joi Boys" honors her memory. His cousin, Rob Whaley Jr., joined him on the roster for the 2025-26 season.
