SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – San Francisco Women's Basketball signs two new Dons on National Signing Day for 2027. Joining USF next season will be Emerald Nnani and Justice Kekauoha.
Kekauoha, a 5'7" point guard from Waimanalo, Hawaii and plays for Iolani School, was the 2024 ILH Player of the Year as a freshman. That same year, she won the HHSAA State Championship.
"Justice is a skilled, intelligent, hard-working young player who will be a great addition to our team," USF Head Coach Molly Goodenbour said about Kekauoha.
Kekauoha has also been named to the HHSAA Girls Basketball State Championship All-Tournament Team the past three seasons (2024, 2025 and 2026).
This past season in the semifinals of the HHSAA Division I Championships, Kekauoha scored 12 of her 23 points in the second to help slug out a win against Konawaena to earn a trip to the state finals. She also added seven rebounds, four steals, an assist and a block in her efforts.
Kekauoha also played AAU Basketball for Jason Kidd Select.
"She has gained high level competitive experience playing internationally and domestically with Jason Kidd Select and has also won a Hawaii State Championship with her Iolani HS team," Coach Goodenbour continued. "Her strong work ethic and passion for basketball are on display every time she is on the court and we are truly excited for her to join us."
Nnani, a 6'3" center who plays at Royal Crown School in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was OSBA, WNPA and Grind Session Champions in 2025-26.
"Emerald is a fantastic signee for us. She is a power forward with nice size, strength and athleticism. She will be a key part of our inside game and I know she is going to grow and develop into an unstoppable force," Coach Goodenbour commented about Nnani.
Nnani has also played for Team Canada. In 2025, she helped Canada earn a second-place finish at the FIBA U16 Americup. She also competed in 2026's FIBA U17 World Cup, helping Team Canda finish fourth.
"Her outgoing and dynamic personality, strong work ethic and love of the game are going to be an excellent fit for our program," Coach Goodenbour continued.
In her 13 games for Team Canada, Nnani averaged 7.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist. During her time at the U17 World Cup, she collected two double-doubles. Against New Zealand, she scored 14 points on grabbed 12 boards and in the quarterfinals against China, she had another 14 point game and 10 rebounds. She also had a three-block game in the U16 Americup in the finals against the USA.
