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.
