Message: [QUOTE="Fossil, post: 4300700, member: 10702"] I think I need better glasses because I don’t see what’s so many Connecticut fans see in Amari. She appears to be a good passer from the elbow and an OK shooter from long range but do we need that with Paige Azzi and Caroline I don’t think so. Most of her highlights are in garbage time. I know she’s going to spend time over the summer getting stronger and improving her skills but for so many people to automatically pencil her in as dependable I just don’t see it. If she were to get that much better over the summer that’s fantastic and I wholeheartedly would love to see it. I would just rather have an experienced grad transfer who we know can play high level post. Foul trouble has been an issue and that third experience the big could be key to another national title. look how disruptive losing Dorka was and what she could have meant in that title game. If the incoming bigs and Amari can prove themselves throughout the season that would be incredible but I just don’t see Connecticut depending on them in a critical big game situation. A senior or grad student may have been through it before and handle it with the experience. I don’t see a one-year transfer stunting the growth of all younger players considering practice is where they learn the most and having an additional big to practice against can only be beneficial. If they don’t sign a transfer big I believe it’s a serious role of the dice which I hope doesn’t come up snake eyes [/QUOTE]
