Did she, though? She had a decent game against Seton Hall but otherwise not so much. CD coached Florida State last year (Amari DNP), Seton Hall, Butler (bottom of the Big East), and Xavier. Here are Amari’s stats. This year’s team needs rebounding and interior defense. In 212 minutes all last season, Amari had 43 TOTAL rebounds. Aubrey has played 209 minutes so far this year and has 59 rebounds - and she’s only 6-1.…obviously she isn't inspired by Geno. The reason I have hope is because when Geno was out last year with sickness CD filled in for him and Amari player really well for her.
Amari may not be the savior but she is the only player on the roster with any height at all and UConn needs height on the floor.
As for defense, I would love to see Amari move her feet and put a body on the offensive player but she tends to reach in instead. I would be ecstatic if she morphed into, not necessary Tina but some version of Jess Moore or Schuie. They were pretty fierce on the court. I just don’t see how one person can change that much that quickly.
