It depends on which story you believe to be true. One side says she doesn't play her heart out in practice. If that's true, she is not a great teammate. I have no inside info and don't know what to believe, but in the past, Geno has rewarded practice hustle with some PT.
What I meant by being a great teammate is that she seems upbeat on the bench and supportive of her teammates and she is active on social media in a positive way. On the court results speaks for itself.
That's fine. You guys are arguing with yourselves. It seems to have no reference to me or whatever you think you're quoting from me. Carry on.
To quote a line from a very good movie "Never say Never." As of now, Amari is in my mind the last player off the bench, unless a catastrophe of epic proportions were to befall our Huskies. At this point in Amari's college career, it is safe to say her porch light is on but there is no one home.
Of course you are right, then. If she had developed her game to the point where Geno felt comfortable having her in the regular rotation, that would be wonderful. So far, of course, it doesn't look like she did that.
Like many here in the BY, we are Amari fans and wish her the best, hoping the light will turn on.
Geno can most defiantly have an alum work with Amari. It appears that she is not without talent, at this point what she lacks is attitude and desire to put her talent to work. I am also thinking that Geno has had past players come in and worked with the team, perhaps someone could work with her attitude. In all honesty I think that there is nothing wrong with Amari as a person, what she has to offer just isn't what UCONN needs, just not a good fit.
Yes, and DeBerry had a chance to learn something this past January. And offseason players and alums can meet up for workouts whenever and wherever they want to schedule it. I'm amazed that more UConn players don't do this.

I ain't giving up on Amari. I got faith in her. I still think she can and will have an impact on some meaningful games in a UConn uniform. Heck it might come down to that scene in Rudy, where the players all bought their uniforms in one by one, "For Rudy"

I really like what I saw from her last year but hopefully refs stop calling ticky tack fouls on her
Have Stef work with her!
