She definitely plays hard, I was really glad when we got her in the transfer portal. She plays a lot bigger than 6’1” her height is so misleading.

She is a pogo stick, just superior athletically to most players in the game. Also, has great instincts getting into passing lanes for steals. Coach Walz compares her to Angel and that is apt.
I saw her in the past with Syracuse and thought of her as a solid rebounder, but I had no idea about her overall game.
 
I loved it when she got so excited (as the whole team did) when Kasa hit those back to back threes. This team really cares and plays hard for each other. Just so much fun to watch.

Dang and that one bullet pass she threw from about mid court was awesome!

Emily put in a lot of work in the gym and on her weight and conditioning before she got to Louisville and then the Cardinal staff took that a step further. It can have a dramatic, positive effect on a player when they go from a unbearable situation to one where the mindset and philosophy is completely different and positive. Steph Norman has rebuilt her into a force and Walz has helped her develop a winning attitude and philosophy. It's a great story. From what I've heard and read about life under Hillsman compared to life at Louisville, it has to feel like going from Hades to heaven.

Yeah that pass she shot to the inside was unbelievable. You rarely see a pass that crisp in the mens game.
Did I hear it right yesterday when Walz suggested Angel worked with her?
 
She is one of the least selfish players on the court. At the end of the game she made it a point to pass up good shots for a better one. Just love her game. Of course Robinson is a true team player too..

What I heard Walz say is that Emily has the same basketball instincts that he hasn’t seen since Angel…
