In January, Robinson became Sierra Canyon’s all-time leading scorer. She passed Southern Cal star Juju Watkins, the previous record-holder. Watkins went on to set the NCAA freshman scoring record.

Robinson and the other first-team All-Americans are finalists for the Naismith Player of the Year Award. She is also a finalist for the MaxPreps Player of the Year Award and a McDonald’s All-American.

The Naismith Girls’ High School Player of the Year Award will be announced on March 17.

Robinson is the star of South Carolina’s fourth-ranked recruiting class. She is joined by forward Kaeli Wynn, who is also from California and best friends with Robinson, and post Kelsi Andrews of Florida, both top-20 recruits. 

Additionally, forward Alicia Tournebize enrolled early and joined the team in January. ESPN called Tournebize the “gem” of the signing class.

Robinson did not sign in the November signing period. She announced her commitment live on ESPN on December 23, 2025, wearing a garnet outfit with black Nikes, and her nails painted garnet, black, and white. Robinson picked South Carolina over LSU and UConn.
