Amari DeBerry interview

Thank you for posting that.
My two main takeaways:

I love an athlete that knows they’re not the “best” (yet)-puts themselves in a challenging position-and rises to the occasion. She knows what it takes as she has done it many times before.

That in close to the basket, outside spin followed by a left handed bank shot will prove lethal.
 
Wow, what an articulate young woman! She speaks like she is a college upperclassman already. Now she just needs to get rid of the multiple "like's."
Also watching the moves/shots on the video shows me that she will be a real factor at UCONN NLT her Soph year and that she will learn lots this year practicing against Liv and Dorka, in addition to her game minutes.
Very impressive!
 
Amari is an impressive young lady. Well spoken, family oriented and grounded.

She has a variety of moves around the basket that I believe will become deadly for opponents. Amari may be a sleeper when it comes to playing time.

Azzi won’t be a sleeper!

And let's not forget next year we will get In
Isuneh "Ice" Brady and Ayanna Patterson to go with Amari DeBerry, Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd. Talk about a loaded team next year...Aaliyah Edwards, Nika Muhl, Mir McLean, Piath Gabriel, Caroline Ducharme, Saylor Poffenbarger, Aubrey Griffin. Are you kidding me? Who starts?

We know Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd will start...talk about a crap shoot for the other three spots... Got to think that Aaliyah Edwards will be a beast in her Junior year. And with Nika Muhl's competitive nature...it will be hard to keep her off the court.

When you find a naturally intelligent and articulate young woman combine it with with great basketball skills, humility and obvious work ethic, you get the next generation of Uconn leadership ! That interview would have made a professional proud.

Does it matter? On this site it doesn’t matter who or what the thread is about. We can interject anyone at anytime. It’s called the “Paige affect”

Originally, I thought you were getting tired of Bueckers being mentioned in threads about other players, particularly Fudd. When you took the next step of interjecting Fudd into any Bueckers thread I thought I understood the point you were making.

But interjecting Fudd into a DeBerry thread? DeBerry gets far less attention than either Bueckers or Fudd, and they are not post players like Edwards. Now it seems you are not so much bothered by Bueckers usurping attention, but rather that more attention should be focused on Fudd, even at the expense of less heralded post players like DeBerry.

I think you are starting to undermine your original concern, which I think was a legitimate one. But maybe I’m mistaken and you really just want more attention for Fudd.

You got it right. All points. I am done…… for now.
 
Geez.
Ca we save the platitudes for once they start playing?
Sound like a bunch of “Rock Star Groupies “ here.
Paige, Paige,Paige
Azzi, Azzi, Azzi.
You make this team sound like the best thing since sliced bread.
I AM A BIG FAN, but pleeeeze...
Lost to AK last year and shouldn’t have.
LUCKED OUT vs South Carolina.
Beaten DECISIVELY by Stanford.
There is room from improvement.
Let them get together, form a team identity and PLAY SOME GAMES.
All of these platitudes, some earned, some not so much (or yet) are becoming comical.

You forgot to mention Dorka.
Dorka, Aaliyah, Saylor, Paige & Azzi could be the starters and the second unit could be
Amari, Ice, Ayanna, Caroiline and Kiki. And no I'm not kidding you! Could be EPIC!

I wasn't sure if Dorka was going to be coming back for a second year. I thought she was a graduate student

Platitudes? There aren't any stinkin' platitudes... It is a reality that the folks on this page love UConn, love talking about UConn 24/7, believe that UConn is the best team in the universe, believe that UConn should get every top ten player there is, that every new player UConn gets is the best thing since sliced bread, that UConn's coaching staff can not do anything wrong, That Geno is a God...did I leave anything out???

I believe that Dorka played 3 years at Ohio State but graduated. Based on the Covid rules, last season didn't count against her eligibility. She can play 2 more years. I believe she has said that is what she intends to do--2 years of basketball at UConn (plus a graduate degree).

Careful with the words in caps. I used one word all caps in a title and the Karens of world whined to no end.
