Amari DeBerry discusses her Commitment to UCONN

[SVCBeercats]

I searched the Boneyard for this video with no hit. So here it is. Short and sweet.

More depth regarding her recruitment and meeting Stewie.

What a great kid...she seemed to have some problems with fouling...like her attitude. UConn coaches will get her to stop making silly fouls. Hope her knee is okay.

Glad those huge, gaudy envelopes from Maryland and Notre Dame had no effect!

Maybe I'm wrong, but from the press releases I never thought of Amari as a bruiser. I thought she was more like Olivia than Aaliyah. If we have a 6-5 edition of Aaliyah, that is really something.

It was so funny seeing the huge multi-colored envelopes from so many colleges. That contrasted with the plain white, hand written envelope from UConn.

Sort of a Nika response to getting the UConn letter: she cried.

How about Notre Dame making a video congratulating her on her 1000 points and wishing her good luck on her upcoming championship tournament.

Geno and staff will bring out the best in Amari. They won't let her cheat her potential. She'll be ready for play at the next level when she's done. She'll NEVER be sorry she chose UConn!!!

Louisville sent her the first letter...shocking

It was stapled to the back of her birth certificate.

Did they include a “red shirt”

LOL!!! Good one Bluedevil. I was going to add that she was still in diapers and nursing on formula, but yours is funnier.

Public Enemy: Don't believe the "hype".

Me either. I don't see Amari as a "junk yard dog" type player. Maybe Aaliyah (and coach Elliott) will rub off on her. When you associate, you assimilate!! I'm hoping for lots of assimilation that first year. The "toughness" we've been hearing about Aaliyah is true.

I'm liking what I'm seeing from her thus far. What I like most is she makes her bunnies. So far, she has seldom missed from point blank range. ONO is coming along. ONO has added a little "bite" to her game this year. I love it!!! I want to see lots more of it, especially against the top 5 teams. Gurrrr.

Love the footwork shown by her in the video and she seems to have a good mid range shot but i don't see the bruiser...

She is not a bruiser nor is she explosively athletic: A Stretch 4 and finesse F will work out just fine because she will be sharing the court with AE and Ice Brady.

I dunno. I'm torn between this shameless pandering and Tennessee's use of an indoor blimp to drop something (I forget) and their team wearing Ts with Anne Strother's baby picture.

 

[Scud49]

Damn, what a great kid...! Having her, Azzi, Caroline, Saylor and the current team - and NO COVID (hopefully) it could be one amazing year...!

Correct. Quick, skilled, and smart. Can really pass as well. It's her skills at that size that I think give her the large potential quotient.

I'm looking forward to her junior and senior years when she should be at her best. Hoping for 2 championships during that time. UConn is going to be EXTREMLY formidable the next 5 years. The players are either already here, or in the pipeline.

These videos are great. Thanks for sharing.

ND was sending more than envelopes Carol Owens ND Associate Head Coach was at this workout. She makes an appearance at the 10:57 mark of the video.

2 championships??? Pfft. I want what Paige wants - 4... 5 if she decides to stay an extra year and play with her bestie Azzi for 4 years.
