November 09, 2022 | Women's Basketball
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College women's basketball team is excited to announce the signing of Jayda Johnson, Lili Krasovec and NeNe Ndiaye to the 2023 signing class.Â
"I am excited about the addition of these highly competitive players, they fit in great with our culture and style of play. On the court they each add depth, quickness, size and versatility to the team. I love that they are talented and have outstanding work ethic both on the court and in the classroom which will allow them to excel as great members of the Boston College
community.''
"NeNe is strong and athletic with great size at the guard position. She aspires to win at the highest level and has the work ethic and skillset to get her there. Competing in the World Cup for the U18 Senegal National Team and playing for the Cal Storm/Team Taurasi EYBL AAU organization has allowed her to compete and excel at the highest level. She has the ability to hit the three, shoot the pull-up jump shot and finish at the basket. I am eager to see her grow as a player and expect her to be a major contributor to our program."
Jayda Johnson | 6'0 | Guard/Forward | West Haven, Conn. | Hamden Hall Country Day School
Is the captain of her basketball team for Hamden Hall ... Played her travel ball with the Brooklyn Stars and Exodus. Born on January 5, 2005, Jayda is the daughter of Brian Johnson and Melissa Nixon. She has two siblings. Her dad played basketball at Sacred Heart and overseas in Germany and Puerto Rico.Â
Coach Mac on Johnson
"Jayda has great instincts and a high basketball IQ. Her smooth long-range accuracy and length to finish at the basket make her a great fit in our high tempo offense. Playing for the Exodus AAU organization has allowed her to compete and excel at the highest level. She is a competitor that is used to winning. I am eager to see her grow as a player and expect her to be an early contributor to our program."
Why I chose BC
"I chose BC because I love the environment and what the school stands for, which is putting others and serving others before yourself. This is so important to me because I have such a big heart and I love the team aspect of basketball and it's essential to winning and being successful. I also love the people, all the coaches and my teammates and Boston itself is a beautiful city with plenty of amazing opportunities."

Krasovec played for Radobasket (2012-17) and Csata DSE (2017-20) in Hungary ...

Coach Mac on Lili
"Lili is a competitor. At 6'3, her length and versatility as a scorer and defender will allow her to excel in multiple positions. She possesses great interior footwork and a natural scoring instinct that will shine in our high tempo offense. She's gained valuable experience over the past two summers playing for the Hungarian U20 and U19 national teams. I anticipate her to be an immediate presence on the court and develop into a dominant player for us."
Why I chose BC
"The basketball and education level is what I was looking for. It is the perfect balance at Boston College. I think it is going to be a great challenge for me."
