Amari

[HuskyNan]

A few posts on Twitter are saying she’s transferring to Maryland.

Best of luck to Amari. I loved how she was always upbeat and engaging. I wish her success, at Maryland or wherever she ends up.

(please - no need to take potshots in this thread. Let the criticism go)

Best of luck.

Little bit of trivia. The Director of NIL Services at the University of Maryland is named Omari DeBerry. Coincidence?

Amari’s bio doesn’t mention a father’s name. Omari DeBerry is a man.

That would be an interesting destination for Amari. I'd venture over to College Park to catch a game or two.

Thanks for the update HuskyNan. Much appreciated.

Swerve: The only collegiate game I have attended was at Cole Field House. It was a men's game against Villanova, the season that 'Nova upset Georgetown for the NC (1985). Oh, the Terps won.
Back to Amari.

It will be great if Amari's dad is working in U. of Maryland.
Anyway wish Amari the best for her success in Maryland.

Good luck, Amari!

All the women who play at UCONN wiggle their way into my heart. Wishing her nothing but the best.

 

[CL82]

Great destination for her. I look forward to following our career wherever she ends up.

 

[DEpup]

Hmm. That would put her really close to Galludet U. I wonder if she's worked out a program to further her sign language studies.

Interesting post. But why the long face?

Pretty awesome!! Super excited and happy for Amari. Like others, I am wishing Amari all the best.

Omari Deberry is a 25 year old former Lacrosse player at Ohio State. I'm pretty sure he's not Amari's father.

I just hope she plays so we can see what she could do with extended minutes. Good luck Amari, continue smiling!

Lefty was a character. It was fun watching his team.

MAryland has a great addition there!!!! Good luck Amari. Hoping she hits it running and blows it out of the park!

There are 2 Omari Deberry. Are you sure which one you are talking?

They’re the same person. The NIL Director at Maryland played lacrosse at Ohio State.

Both Mr. Omari DeBerry and Ms. Amari DeBerry could be related, but I don’t think he’s her dad. From his profile, he seems to be very young, and it appears that he graduated from high school in 2017.

I wish her the best. I always thought she could have been the solution this year for UConn competing for a championship but for some reason never rose to the top. I really think a change of scenery for her could lead to amazing things for Amari in basketball.

 

[Zarathustra]

Best Wishes to the newest WBB Terrapin! Mix it up in the BIG 10, Amari!!

Don't judge him.

 

[fireford]

Congrats to Amari.

As far as Omari, where's Maury Povich when you need him?

Most direct link yet -

Maryland also has a graduate program in communications (my sister got her PhD from Maryland) so the move also makes sense academically. Good luck Amari!

 

[Tufkas]

Good for her, landing with a top notch program with national visibility, and a coach who's won a national championship. Hope she finally finds an environment that can afford the opportunity to maximize her potential. Will be watching.

Oh how we love a good mystery, even if it's in the science fiction category.

If Amari thrives at Maryland (I wish her that) we will have another, more pertinent mystery.

I know ppl hate the 5th year, covid year. What about making it a minutes or games thing. I'm just thinking that if Amari kills at umd, like puts up a solid 10 and 8 next year, it kinda sucks she only has one year. She played less than 5 minutes a game last year, less than 400 her 3 yrs at UConn. Especially in a time where ppl jump ship so frequently.
