After last season, talented forward KC Ndefo entered the transfer portal only to return to spark Saint Peter’s on a magical run.
Shaheen Holloway smiled and admitted the obvious: Saint Peter’s is fortunate — fortunate that star senior KC Ndefo wanted to return, fortunate that no other schools were smart enough to know what they could’ve had, fortunate that a scholarship happened to open up.
After last season, the talented forward entered the transfer portal, catching Holloway off guard after initially telling him he wanted to say. Ndefo, a 6-foot-7 shot-blocking menace from Elmont, N.Y., who went from an unranked and under-recruited prospect into one of the best players in the MAAC, was intrigued by what else was out there, according to his adviser, Will Carter. He wanted to challenge himself against better competition.
During this time, Ndefo and Holloway weren’t talking. New assistant coach Rasheen Davis was pushing the idea of his return to Carter and Holloway, the adviser said. Teammates kept in contact with Ndefo, feeling him out without pushing him in one way or another. But Holloway was preparing to be without him.
