She is one of three known players in the ’26 cycle that South Carolina is still recruiting, along with French forward Alicia Tournebize and Spanish forward Sara Okeke. Reportedly, USC, LSU, and UConn are Robinson’s final three schools.

Robinson’s spot on the preseason All-American is well deserved. The 6-1 five-star prospect can play every non-post position on the floor at a high level, though her college future is likely as a guard.

The Rivals Industry Ranking considers Robinson to be the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class. She’s No. 2 nationally among combo guards and No. 1, regardless of position, in California.

South Carolina has signed two players so far in the class of 2026. Post player Kelsi Andrews and versatile wing/forward Kaeli Wynn inked with USC during the early signing period. Several others, including Robinson, remain major targets heading toward the spring signing period.

Class of 2027 guard Kaleena Smith (first team), forward Jordyn Palmer (second team), and wings Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka (second team) and Micah Ojo (third team) are Gamecock targets in next year’s class. Class of 2028 guard Tatianna Griffin (second team) is a USC target headed into her sophomore season of high school; she is also Smith’s teammate at Ontario Christian in California.
