Amari DeBerry discusses her Commitment to UCONN

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.

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

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

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!!! :D

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

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. :D 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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

By the time Brady plays I believe Gabriel will be an impactful player for UConn. Two years of experience I believe will get her there.
 
Pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing the video with us. She is an awesome young lady and a great talent.

I was try to be rational. The gap between UConn and the other elite programs has in my opinion closed, as evidenced by our loss to 3 of them last year.

Don‘t get me wrong. I would love to see Geno go on a run and win the next 6 championships. We’re getting better, but so are the other elites. Eric, I’m with you. Nothing would please me more than a long sustained run of winning NC’s, starting this year.

Stanford, Louisville, Baylor, North Carolina State and South Carolina are going to have something to say about who wins championships the few years. All of them are in the “upper room” of wcbb, and must be defeated at some point if you’re going to win a championship. Easier said than done.
