The Saskatchewan Rattlers have re-signed 6-foot-7 Shane Osayande for the 2025 season.
2025 will be Osayande’s fifth in the CEBL. The Toronto native played 17 games over two seasons with the Rattlers during the 2019 and 2020 seasons, averaging 8.9 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 40 per cent from the field.
Osayande played a key role during the Rattlers’ 2019 CEBL Championship win. He contributed with 14 points, nine rebounds, and one steal in 27 minutes while shooting 45.5 per cent from the field.
“We are very happy to welcome Shane back to Saskatoon. He is obviously very familiar with the community after having spent time here as a college student-athlete and as a member of the Rattlers,” said General Manager and Vice-President of Basketball Operations, Barry Rawlyk. “His experience and athleticism will prove to be great assets for the team, and we expect him to provide some veteran leadership. Shane is a tough competitor and will certainly be an important catalyst to our success.”
Osayande will join the Rattlers for the 2025 season to play alongside Elijah Ifejeh, Dondre Reddick, Grant Anticevich, Deon Ejim, Anthony Tsegakele, Jaden Bediako, Cody John, Jamir Chaplin, Nate Pierre-Louis, Isaac Simon, Declan Peterson, and Easton Thimm. Canadian Elite Basketball League free agency will continue leading up to the announcement of the full training camp roster prior to the Saskatchewan Rattlers home opener on May 15, 2025 at SaskTel Centre.
