I think some have this utopian scenario stuck in their head that UCONN should always be ten plus deep and that everyone on the team should be able to come in and contribute right away or should be given minutes at all times to help develop into that type of player. Of course, this is unrealistic for a couple reasons. 1. You rarely see that across team sports. Benchwarmers will always exist and 2. Rotations shorten in the tournament and Geno, if anything, is always preparing for tournament play.

Ines and Amari both seem like great people and the team clearly loves them but...realistic expectations need to be given to them. Ines is a freshman who was gonna go to juco because Geno came calling and didn't practice with the team during the summer. Amari has had two years now and has had marginal improvement. Their minutes and their usage are, right now, justified. If either one shows rapid improvement, then they will play more. It's as easy as that.
