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.

This thread went from Amari going to Maryland to a ‘telephone’ thread… something about her father, or not her father…..
I hope Amari finds her basketball home. Rock on Amari.

I'm thinking this has to do with who Uconn is getting because there was this

Congrats Amari! Best of luck and you were such a great teammate

 

[Longtime fan]

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)

I am with you. If it is to Maryland , good luck ( I do admit to some surprise, if Maryland turns out to be correct ).

Yes but it is also some kind of portal clue about Maryland

Best wishes!!

It’s Maryland. She’s following them

I have faith in the people on here who are confirming this is true but am curious as to why Maryland publications have articles on Rutgers guard Kaylene Smikle transferring in but nothing on Amari.

 

[Ct Dog]

I’d love to see her have a great year!

 

[hoopsdiva]

I have yet to see this confirmed by anyone reliable.

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

I don't think she's a Terrapin yet. At tis point, it's just rumors.

Amari would be playing against impressive competition in the "new" Big 10.
Keeping my fingers crossed for her transfer working out for the best.

 

[BRS24]

Grain of salt, folks.

Grain of salt, folks.

Wish her the best and hope she can also be fully healthy. She was a positive and upbeat teammate.

She offers plusses on offense with a decent 3 point shot and good passing. In a zone she can be a rim protector. Challenge of course is her man to man d.

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

In our last year in the ACC, our team was a bunch of New York City Catholics who drank as much as Coach McGuire. A brawl erupted and one of our players held Lefty while another punched him out. No suspension or anything back in 72-73.

ACC hated us for leaving but that was the only brawl of the year. We went through the season undefeated but lost the ACC tourney championship game to NC State (ACC refs) . Thus, we didn’t qualify for the 16-team NCAA tournament.

Wishing Amari well. I hope she will have the opportunity to contribute at Maryland. Brenda is a very good coach, so maybe she’ll be able to help Amari tap into her potential. I hope she has a successful season.

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

View attachment 99825

Omari is from MD, Amari is from NY....Also, Omari doesn't appear old enough to be her dad. So I'd guess coincidence or they could be cousins like Angel Reese and Jordan Hawkins.

If it turns out to be true that she will be a Terp then she will have to compete for minutes against.... Saylor Poffenbarger.

 

[fireford]

I see Maryland also got Saylor Poffenbarger.

A daily double on former UConn players.
