2026 Recruiting: Jerzy Robinson

[WBBZen]

I've always thought it would come down to SC or UConn, because LSU is full of guards right now. Others schools are always going to put on a way more flashier recruitment visit that UConn because that's just not Geno's style.

I do feel the SC commitment tease is Wynn, as I heard that was her second visit.

If it comes down to playing time as a freshman, it has to be SC. They currently only have 6 scholarship players for 26-27 according to WBB Blog. UConn has 13 with 'O'

I’m skeptical that elite players are worried about playing time. They are likrly confident that they can play as well as anyone.

And secondly the transfer portal changes that anyway. The roster when you sign could end up being very different 9 months later

I wouldn't be so sure. It may not seem like it, but Dawn is stricter than Geno with the freshmen. Joyce was the best on the team last season and continued to come off the bench, and the same thing happened with Fulwiley. Dawn always giving preference to juniors and seniors. Geno started with Sarah as a freshman, as do Azzi and Paige. I think Jerzy is more likely to start at UConn than at SC. Jerzy playing SC, she might be the best on the team and will continue to come off the bench, after someone older than her, like Tessa Johnson, Agot Makeer, and even some junior or senior of the Portal.

That is very true, but if she's looking for a program thats loyal to its players, then hard to beat SC in that regard.

Azzi didn’t start right away as a freshman. But that was clearly temporary.

It don't have to start right away. That's not my point. Azzi starting 17/25 - 28 MPG is enough. Her talent was recognized. And her being a freshman didn't prevent her starting, as it would have happened if she were playing at SC. That's my point.

Someone has a truly wild imagination by thinking there is any chance she would start on a team with Shade, Quinones, Ziebell and Cheli plus the possibility that Sara Strong would play the three. She wasn't even in the rotation for the U19 team. Neither Robinson nor Bjorn showed anything special on that squad, particularly in comparison to Hall and Davidson. IMO UConn would be much better off pursuing two European players.

Aaliyah Boston, Zia Cooke, and Brea Beal might have something to say about this theory. They all started from day one through their senior season. Joyce was behind experience, and Milaysia was behind experience and better decision makers. But that's for Kim to discover soon enough.

At times, it was necessary to break the Dawn Staley standard, like this season, with Chloe Kitts' injury, Joyce is starting, but exceptions don't change the standard. If in 17 years you can only name three cases of freshman starter, that's the best proof that a standard exists.Not even A'ja started her freshman year.

Jerzy has three gold medals and two MVPs with USA Team, including world champion, MVP and top scorer with 21 PPG in the FIBA U17. I hope Geno thinks differently than you because if he underestimates her like you are doing, she may choose another place where she would be more valued.I don't have a machine to predict the future, but what I'm saying is that if Jerzy plays better, she'll be a starter, just like Sarah, Paige, and Azzi were. Dawn seems to be more strict about prioritizing juniors and seniors than Geno. That's all I'm saying.
