Jerzy Robinson, nation's top 2026 girls basketball prospect, transfers to Sierra Canyon

The nation's No. 1 high school girls basketball prospect is leaving one national powerhouse for another just a state over.

Jerzy Robinson, a 6-foot-1 guard/forward, has left Desert Vista (Phoenix, Arizona) for Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, California) after leading the Arizona power to an AIA Open Division state championship as a freshmen, according to Jack Pollon, a reporter who covers high school basketball in Southern California.

The Trailblazers graduate five-star and SBLive All-American and SBLive California co-state MVP Juju Watkins to USC, but return 2024 five-star forward/center Mackenly Randolph, the daughter of former NBA All-Star Zach Randolph.

Robinson, the nation's No. 1 2026 prospect according to ESPN's HoopGurlz, was one of the nation's top players, regardless of class, as a freshman.

She averaged 22.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game and had 21 and nine in a 63-37 state title win over Millennium. 

Desert Vista was invited to the State Champions Invitational in Washington D.C. and won a quarterfinal matchup with Morris Catholic (New Jersey) before losing to Lone Peak (Utah) in the semifinals.

Sierra Canyon spent much of the 2022-23 season as the nation's No. 1 ranked team in the SBLive Power 25, finishing 31-1 and fell short of the CIF Open Division state title.

Robinson is currently competing for the USA women's under-16 team at the FIBA under-16 Americas Championships.
