Seton Hall basketball adds Jaden Bediako, Santa Clara transfer center

Three days after bringing a transfer center aboard for next season, Seton Hall basketball has added another.

Santa Clara senior Jaden Bediako committed to the Pirates late Monday, joining Austin Peay center Elijah Hutchins-Everett as part of what figures to be a platoon at the position in 2023-24.

Here are three things to know about Bediako, who is heading into his fifth and final season of eligibility.

1. He’s a true center.

At 6-foot-10 and 245 pounds, the Ontario native plays with his back to the basket. He attempted just two 3-pointers over four seasons with Santa Clara. He shot 52 percent from the field this past season, averaging 6.0 points and 4.9 rebounds in 22 minutes per game, after shooting .566 from the field as a junior.
