South Carolina women's basketball is building toward the future, as this year’s No. 6 high school recruit Jerzy Robinson officially signed with the Gamecocks this week.
The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 27 points and 10.2 rebounds in her junior season at LA's Sierra Canyon High School. Robinson is now finishing her senior year, subsequently becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer after just three years on the team.
"Jerzy is an all-level scorer who can shoot it from outside, get to her spots and be physical in the paint," South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said in a team statement. "Beyond that, she has a winning mentality that she brings to every possession and every matchup she faces. Her competitive spirit and confidence will elevate our program."
"I chose South Carolina because I had a sense of peace when it came down to the decision for me," Robinson told ESPN last December. "When I visited South Carolina, I was already home. I was already valued there... I felt like this was where I needed to be for the next four years."
South Carolina Launches Rebuild with Jerzy Robinson Signing
Having fallen short of two straight NCAA title games, the Gamecocks are turning to both recruiting and the transfer portal after losing Raven Johnson and Madina Okot to the WNBA.
South Carolina recently hosted ex-Tennessee commit Oliviyah Edwards on an official visit after the No. 3 prospect re-opened her recruiting, while also eyeing prospective Texas transfer Jordan Lee.
