Robert Morris women’s basketball head coach Chandler McCabe announced the signings of guard Kaylee DeAngelo and center Amina Ndiaye as part of the early signing period.

DeAngelo, a standout guard at Thomas Jefferson High School became the program’s first Class of 2027 commit back in September of 2025.

As a freshman at Oakland Catholic under former head coach and current Colonials’ assistant coach Eddie Benton, DeAngelo, along with current Robert Morris redshirt freshman London Creach, guided the school to a 26-3 record, a WPIAL semifinals appearance and a PIAA quarterfinals appearance.

Following her breakout freshman season, DeAngelo transferred to Thomas Jefferson High School where she teamed up with fellow Division-I talent, College of Charleston freshman Maggie Spell. In her junior season, DeAngelo Class-5A All-Section honors after the duo guided the Jaguars to a WPIAL semifinal appearance.

DeAngelo signed with Colonials despite attempts from other programs such as Akron, Colgate, Delaware, Manhattan, and Youngstown State.

Ndiaye, a native of Dakar, Senegal, and standout forward at Shining Stars Sports Academy in Virginia, committed to the Colonials last month, just weeks before making her pledge official on early signing day.

She also played at Greenforest-McCalep Christian Academy, located in Decatur, Georgia, where she helped the Lady Eagles win a state championship in just her freshman season. The 6-foot-4 center is best known for her presence in the paint, and particularly, her shot-blocking skills.

Ndiaye signed with Robert Morris over offers from programs such as Boston College, Central Florida, Hofstra and Mercer among others.

Based on the playing time of current freshman on the roster, and the skills that each of them already possess, it would not be shocking to see DeAngelo and Ndiaye play crucial roles early on into their Robert Morris tenures.
