Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4769296, member: 11664"] Evidently Jana's pedigree led many to believe that she ranked higher on the UConn depth chart than Amari which would have resulted in a role even if only a minor one. Whether Jana's (or Amari's) role would've been major or minor, UConn doesn't have a lot of experiencd height to match up with all of the other potential contenders. What is there to dispute really? I'd expect Amari wil get some important minutes unless she's grossly incompetant or negligent, especially with Jana being injured. Aubrey is a great player but she's not a true big in the full sense & it's sort of unfair to expect her to be in every situation. This is a new season & when it comes down to crunch time it will be about match ups & team needs. Players can improve & every player can help win a game. It's not all about the starters as you would like to believe, No other UConn player is as much of a rim protector as Amari is. All of UConn's hopes could end up depending on her based on the opponent even if she only plays in relief. Her minutes can save others from fouling out & to catch their wind. That's how depth works & Amari is an important piece of the puzzle. [/QUOTE]
