Good news for the Ducks. Now surround him with some shooters.

Finally some good news out of Eugene. After Ware, Williams and Soares left, I wondered who would be next. The longer Dante waited, I felt there was a slight chance of him returning for his final season. I mentioned he could stay with the Ducks, hit the transfer portal or go pro. With his recent foot/ankle injury, I'm glad he decided to stick around. This puts a smile on my face! Go Ducks!

Best news I've heard in weeks!
Will be interesting to see how Altman utilizes Dante and Bittle going forward.

YES!
What this does is narrow the gap on Altman having excuses i.e. about not being able to communicate with players; whining about attendance or lack thereof...there is now enough experience and leadership returning to complement the new incoming players.
Ball centric WR is gone, thankfully...so Dana it is on you and please play your bench.
Tactic-wise, Bittle was CLEARLY a different player in the NIT games playing at center...a position he says he prefers(Dana, are you listening?)...what about Bittle at center playing with his back to the basket and Dante at power forward playing facing the basket?
Dana...if you want different results than the last 2 seasons...then COACH and LEAD differently.
