N’Faly Dante – MOKAN Elite

C | 6-foot-11 | 230 lbs | No. 12 overall

N’Faly Dante was a dominant force at Peach Jam. As the primary standout from the championship-winning team, his inclusion should have been obvious. An absolutely dominant big man prospect with major upside, Dante showcased exactly why he is a potential five-star recruit. He is simply a monster in the paint and will be a major difference-maker at the college level. That much was made obvious at Peach Jam and he should continue to excel with more refinement to his game.

Over the past year, Dante has improved tremendously with regards to his overall skill level. He always had plenty of physical tools but he is starting to put it all together and that is a scary thought. He was simply the toughest frontcourt player to defend in North Augusta as he imposed his will in the paint and on the glass. He averaged an insane double-double at the event and posted his best performance in the title game. Hard to argue with recording 22 points, 18 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the biggest game of the EYBL season.

With regards to his recruitment, it is no secret that some of the top programs n the country will be hunting his commitment. He has already received offers from schools such as Kentucky, LSU, Oregon, and Kansas, among others. There do not seem to be any major favorites to land the talented big man, at this moment, but he should be one of the hottest names to watch over the next several months. He was truly dominant at Peach Jam.
