PITTSBURGH – Pitt women's basketball head coach Robin Harmony announced the signing of four student-athletes on National Signing Day, welcoming Ella Gunderson, Ifunanya Abarikwu, Lezlei Setzer and Brooklyn Eubanks to the Panthers' program. The quartet represents Harmony's first incoming recruiting class at Pitt.
The four signees come to Pittsburgh from three states, with two players hailing from Texas and one each from California and South Dakota.
MEET THE NEW PANTHERS
Ella Gunderson
Gunderson will join 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," said Harmony. "She also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and create off the bounce."
Ifunanya Abarikwu
Abarikwu, will arrive in Pittsburgh from Walnut Grove High School in Prosper, Texas.
"Iffy is a long 3-and-D wing who is extremely switchable and has the ability to defend four positions," said Harmony. "She is a perfect fit for our pressure defense and also has the ability to score and shoot from range."
Lezlei Setzer
Setzer will come to Pitt from Sioux Falls Christian School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
"Lezlei is an athletic big with tremendous upside," said Harmony. "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."
Brooklyn Eubanks
Eubanks will join the Panthers from Kingdom Collegiate Academy in Round Rock, Texas.
"Brooklyn is a lead guard with an elite handle and the ability to shoot at a high level, both off the catch and off the bounce," said Harmony. "She is also a tenacious on-ball defender who can pick up full court and set the tone defensively."
