N’Faly Dante announces return for 2023 season with the Ducks

N’Faly Dante is giving it one more year in Eugene. Huge win for Dana Altman and the Ducks.

One of the best pieces of news that Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks could hope to see finally came out on Monday morning.

Veteran big-man N’Faly Dante announced via social media that he would officially be returning for the 2023-24 season in Eugene and looking after some “unfinished business.”

Dante had his best season in 2022, averaging 13.4 points per game and 8 rebounds. He was the leader of Oregon’s team and proved to be a huge force in the paint for the Ducks.

With him returning, the Ducks now officially bring back Dante, Nate Bittle, and Jermaine Couisnard, a trio of starters from last year. There also seems to be a good chance that they bring back Keeshawn Barthelemy as well.

With those three or four players, the Ducks will also bring in a trio of highly-rated recruits, with Kwame Evans, Mookie Cook, and Jackson Shelstad.

There are still roster spots to figure out, but so far, it looks like the Ducks could be a in a pretty good spot going forward.
