Five-star guard Jerzy Robinson has signed with South Carolina women’s basketball.
Robinson was the No. 5 overall recruit in the 2026 class when she chose coach Dawn Staley’s team on Dec. 23, making her announcement live on ESPN. She has since dropped one spot in ESPN’s rankings, now at No. 6.
She is 6-foot and plays for Sierra Canyon High School in California. She chose the Gamecocks over LSU and UConn, both teams that South Carolina beat this season.
Staley’s Comments on Robinson
“Jerzy is an all-level scorer who can shoot it from outside, get to her spots and be physical in the paint,” Staley said in a news release. “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. We can’t wait to get Jerzy to campus and for the FAMS to embrace her and her family.”
Other South Carolina Signings
This is the third signee for South Carolina in the 2026 cycle but fourth addition to the roster this season, as Alicia Tournebize, a 6-foot-7 freshman from France, enrolled early this January.
Kelsi Andrews, a 6-4 center and the No. 30 recruit, committed on Oct. 7, and Kaeli Wynn, the No. 19 recruit who is a 6-2 forward, committed Nov. 10. They both signed in the early period.
Robinson’s Ranking and Visit
Robinson is the highest-ranked recruit for Staley since Joyce Edwards, who was No. 3 in the class of 2023.
Robinson was at South Carolina’s exhibition game Oct. 24 on her official visit. She was spotted sitting behind the Gamecocks’ bench during the game.
Robinson then went to the football game on Oct. 25 with Staley, current players and legendary Gamecocks player A’ja Wilson, who had just become the WNBA’s first four-time MVP.
Robinson’s Scoring Record
On Jan. 17, Robinson passed Southern Cal women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins as the all-time career leading scorer at Sierra Canyon with her 2,355th career point.
As a junior, Robinson averaged 27 points and 10.2 rebounds and as a senior she averaged 21.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
