A Star Performer on the Brink of College Stardom
There’s growing excitement in the women’s basketball world as Jerzy Robinson, a 5-star 2026 recruit and incoming guard for the South Carolina Gamecocks, continues to dominate at the high school level — cementing her status as one of the nation’s premier prospects.
Robinson has long been a force on the floor. Last season, she averaged eye-catching figures with 27 points and 10.2 rebounds per game during her junior campaign, showcasing elite scoring ability and interior presence. She also has international experience, having competed with Team USA and earned multiple gold medals in FIBA competitions — testimony to her polished all-around game and poise in high-pressure situations.
As the future of South Carolina women’s basketball continues to take shape, one thing is becoming crystal clear: the program’s 2026 recruiting class is already flashing elite potential.
The spotlight this week belongs to 2026 Gamecocks commit Jerzy Robinson, who delivered a statement performance in the CIF-SS playoffs. Robinson poured in 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, posting a dominant playoff double-double to lead Sierra Canyon School past Mater Dei High School in the CIF-Southern Section Quarterfinal.
It was the kind of performance that reinforces why South Carolina secured her commitment early — and why the 2026/2027 Gamecocks will be in very capable hands.
