4 straight years, Ella has been the dominate player we have known her to be and Friday was no exception. She hit shot after shot from pretty much everywhere on the court. Over the years, you have to love the way she has developed her game outside of the paint and can be a threat from anywhere she desires to be. During Friday’s contest, she was able to operate flawlessly on the low post block, drawing double and triple teams from her defenders while still managing to score. Heading to Ohio State in the fall, Ella can certainly contribute from the start and it will be exciting to see her career flourish in Coach McGuff’s system.

Ella is the player that needs no introduction. She dominated the lost post block during Day 1 as she scored inside with ease over and over. There is simply no match for what she is able to do anytime she gets the ball in the paint. She can go up strong even when several bodies are all over her. She can get right to the rim with 1-2 power dribbles has a nice jump hook that is difficult to defend. She is also no stranger to stepping back and hitting the 15 footer consistently. Just an overall special player.

Robinson | 2024 State NC has had national attention for several years now as she is dominant on both ends of the court.  She sees the floor well knowing exactly how to position her seals on the block to get some points, and she uses her strength to battle for rebounds on both ends.  She runs the floor well finding the gaps on fast breaks being ready for the pass and bucket, and she can step outside the arc to knock it down from deep.

Robinson | 2024 State NC (featured photo) is used to getting national attention.  Things just seem to come so easily for her on the court, and this is definitely not because defenders go easy on her.  Even while she is battling in the paint, she knows how to maneuver her body to protect the possession and score some points.  She is a threat all over the court showing off her ability to score on all levels.  Boxing her out is a feat that no one wants to do as it seems to be impossible with the way she can rack up rebounds.  She runs the floor well exploding to the basket and being ready for a pass on a fast break.
