The Texas bench reacts to a play in the third quarter of the Longhorns’ game against the LSU Tigers at the Moody Center in Austin, Feb. 5, 2026. Texas won the game 77-64. (Sara Diggins/Austin American-Statesman) In desperate need of depth among its post players, the Texas women's basketball team received a commitment from Marquette transfer Jada Bediako on Friday. A 6-foot-3 forward, Bediako spent the past two seasons at Marquette after beginning her collegiate career at Georgia Tech. While appearing in 26 games this past season, Bediako averaged 2.6 points and 2.2 rebounds. Bediako joins former Oklahoma guard Skylar Vann in UT's offseason transfer class. Bediako is committing to a Texas team that recently lost starting forward Justice Carlton to the transfer portal and had senior center Kyla Oldacre exhaust her eligibility. Carlton averaged 8.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game during her sophomore season, and she also earned a spot on the SEC's all-tournament team. Oldacre came off the bench in 37 of UT's 39 games, but she was the team's second-leading rebounder. Texas is returning starting center Breya Cunningham to the mix. In addition to Bediako, freshmen forwards Brihanna Crittendon and Isi Etute will make their UT debuts next season. Lovisa Asbrink Hose also redshirted at Texas this past season after spending her freshman year at Florida Atlantic.
