Four incoming recruits signed with the Pitt women's basketball program on National Signing Day, the first class assembled by head coach Robin Harmony. The newcomers arrive in Pittsburgh from California, South Dakota, and Texas.
The program announced the additions of Ella Gunderson, Ifunanya Abarikwu, Lezlei Setzer, and Brooklyn Eubanks to the roster.
Gunderson joins the Panthers from San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, California.
"Ella is a highly skilled big wing who can shoot the ball from distance," Harmony said. "She also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and create off the bounce."
Abarikwu makes her way to Pittsburgh from Walnut Grove High School in Prosper, Texas.
Harmony remarked, “Known as Iffy, she stands as a tall 3-and-D wing capable of switching seamlessly across four defensive positions.” “Beyond fitting our aggressive defensive scheme wonderfully, she brings scoring talent and perimeter shooting.”
Setzer travels to Pitt from Sioux Falls Christian School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
"Lezlei is an athletic big with tremendous upside," Harmony said. "She can cover ground like a guard while also defending vertically at the rim. She is a high-volume shot blocker who can score in the paint and finish through contact."
Eubanks rounds out the class from Kingdom Collegiate Academy in Round Rock, Texas.
Harmony noted, “Brooklyn operates as a primary guard possessing exceptional ball-handling skills and high-tier shooting proficiency in both catch-and-shoot and pull-up situations.” “Furthermore, she functions as a relentless on-ball defender capable of applying full-court pressure and establishing defensive intensity.”
