Sophomore (2016-17): Played in 24 games, averaging 9.3 minutes, 2.8 points, and 1.3 rebounds per game … Was the team’s most accurate shooter at .630 (29-46) … Played a career-high 20 minutes against LSU on Nov. 26 and scored a season-high eight points, which she later tied in the Feb. 12 win over Virginia Tech … Made at least two field goals in nine games … Scored four points on 2-2 shooting in NC State’s upset win over No. 2/2 Notre Dame on Dec. 29 … Went a perfect 2-2 at the FT line in NC State’s NCAA Tournament first round win over Auburn on March 17 … Swatted a career-high three blocks in a Dec. 4 win over North Florida.
Freshman (2015-16): Played in 18 games, averaging 1.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 7.4 minutes per contest … Made her career debut in the win over High Point on November 15 … Recorded season highs in points (9) and minutes (17) in the win over UAB on November 27 … Made a season-high four field goals in the win over Western Carolina on December 16 … Grabbed a season-high five rebounds in the win over High Point … Shot 14-36 (.389) from the field throughout the season.
Prior to NC State: Her senior high school team went 32-2 to win ninth straight state title ... First Team All-WCAC (Western Catholic Athletic Conference), Preseason All-Met, and McDonald's High School All-American nominee in 2015 ... Ranked as the #100 prospect in the 2015 ESPN HoopGurlz rankings ... Rated as a four-star recruit by ESPNW and the #16 post player in the entire class of 2015 ... Ranked #33 in the nation by Blue Star Report ... WCAC and VISAA All-Conference honors as a junior.
Coach Moore's Take: "A strong, back-to-the-basket player with good skills on the block, Nae Nae should bring a presence inside on both ends of the court. She has potential to be a scorer down low in the four-out, one-in system. She's another player who is used to winning, coming from a strong St. Paul VI program in the D.C. area."
Personal: Full name is Jonquanae Cole.
