You left out one key point - she originally committed to Marquette but then got out of her letter of intent to follow Duffy to Virginia Tech.

Jada Bediako is transferring to Texas.

That surprises me a bit.

They like her size, physicality, and intangibles. They lost Oldacre to graduation, and Carlton (Houston) to the portal. They see her as depth behind Cunningham.

Texas had a rough portal. They also lost Moore to Tennessee, Crump to Duke, Lee to South Carolina.

I'll give you the first two but I'm not sure of what intangibles she provides.  But I wish her the best.  She didn't play a ton at MU and just didn't expect her to end up at a program like Texas.

They like her effort level. The Texas head coach is known for being tough on players. They think she is a fit to be able to handle some of that. Back up center, with physicality, size, and high effort level. They think they can get more out of her than MU did.
