Our three captains had stellar games but we had a unsung hero.
J. Bediako.....GREAT game!

Waiting to see the official box with the +/- numbers. He was doing a really good job in the first half getting out past the foul line and disrupting them up top, and then getting back to defend underneath. EHE had a tougher time tonight doing that, and his time on the floor was when Butker started to turn the ball over less and hit 3s. Obviously not all on him, but it changed things somewhat.
3 great transfers that immediately come to mind that display grit, toughness and all out effort.....Derrick Gordon, Q, and Bediako. They were just great pieces to each team. Unfortunately, we only got to see Q more than 1 season.Perhaps our best transfer ever, love watching him play. He had 3 blocks coming from behind after defending on the perimeter. He was all over the floor. Pure hustle plain and simple. I like our chances with him against anybody because I know he’s going to leave it all out on the floor. Him and Wusu played great defense.
My contacts in the summer were trumpeting EHE over Bediako. But once I saw him in the preseason practice I attended there was no doubt in my mind that he was a quality Big East player.He has been one of the biggest surprises I remember.
On the trove over spring/summer he was obviously not our first choice and had sounded like a classic disappointment..like a guy who would struggle to give any minutes
He has turned out to be a solid, very good player for us, way way more skilled than expected and plays very tough and avoids foul trouble (mostly)
although guys like @SHUSA still take shots at him..last game thread saying our big men aren’t BE quality
He has been a stud for us..great for the program to find a player like this and get him playing at this level
Yes - that is great point, but those guys were much more heralded than the other 3. Both those guys have been great. I was telling my friend Richmond is so good, it barely looks like he is trying. And Davis just gets it done. I would love to have both those guys back next year, but don't see it happening.Great addition. Do you mean grad transfer? Tell me why Kadary and Davis are not in this conversation, esp if an above poster considers McKnight?
Better than Kadary?? Come on. He's been good but think.Perhaps our best transfer ever, love watching him play. He had 3 blocks coming from behind after defending on the perimeter.

Add Andre Sweet3 great transfers that immediately come to mind that display grit, toughness and all out effort.....Derrick Gordon, Q, and Bediako. They were just great pieces to each team. Unfortunately, we only got to see Q more than 1 season.
Based on Bediako stats he is having a career year! Praise to Sha!! And his motor is unique IMHOYes - that is great point, but those guys were much more heralded than the other 3. Both those guys have been great. I was telling my friend Richmond is so good, it barely looks like he is trying. And Davis just gets it done.

Not Carl Marshall? 😆Perhaps our best transfer ever, love watching him play. He had 3 blocks coming from behind after defending on the perimeter. He was all over the floor. Pure hustle plain and simple. I like our chances with him against anybody because I know he’s going to leave it all out on the floor. Him and Wusu played great defense.
Bediako is our X-factor this season. He did an incredible job in the middle last night. He deserves equal praise.Our three captains had stellar games but we had a unsung hero.
J. Bediako.....GREAT game!
Should have said first year transfer which is what I was thinking. Kadary was barely just Ok year one. Quincy, got better year 2. Not many transfers are this good first year and in this case only year. Gordon made an impact year one.Better than Kadary?? Come on. He's been good but think.
We’ve had some really impactful ones.Not Carl Marshall? 😆
Everyone from Santa Clara wants to come to South Orange.Must be top secret how he ended up at SHU
Ro was great. I see transfers and jucos as 2 different buckets.Wow, can't believe we're discussing transfers and no one mentioned....Romaro Gill. Averaged over 3 blocks his senior season, defensive player of the year, most improved player of the year and 3rd in the NCAA in blocks per game. You wanna talk about an under the radar pick up and a guy who was properly developed? Well then we're talking Romaro!
Carino had article several weeks ago. SHU reached out to Bediako right away when he was looking to transfer, one of his advisors/former coaches had relationship with Coach Davis. We were one of 2 or 3 high majors interested.Must be top secret how he ended up at SHU
The very same coach Davis that many wanted to jettison this summer? Cheers to Coach DavisCarino had article several weeks ago. SHU reached out to Bediako right away when he was looking to transfer, one of his advisors/former coaches had relationship with Coach Davis. We were one of 2 or 3 high majors interested.
Too bad Oli Taylor often gets overlooked. Was an amazing addition to our team.We’ve had some really impactful ones.
No particular order and far from complete. Just the ones who pop into my head
Kadary
Sweet
Q
Bediako
Dre
Gordon
