Kutztown Postgame Thread

Did other posters also show concern about the rebounding aspects of Dorka? She always seemed to immediately take down the rebound to waist level instead of holding the ball up high where guards might not steal it. She also did this before a put back. Against better competition she won't get a shot off. Where are our coaches as this was also a problem w/her last season.
In other aspects, she showed a lot of quickness and desire to shoot with no hesitation.

I thought it was a problem with both Liv and Aaliyah last year, too. It’s a bad habit.

I don't really think we can tell anything about anyone in a game against Kutztown. But we can see that DeBerry did not earn a meaningful moment in that game. so, her summer in Storrs may have just moved her a step closer to opting out, at some point.
I had ( have) high hopes for her. But she doesn't seem close to fulfilling any of them. Hard to believe UCONN so badly mis-read her. Please, anyone, disagree and let us know why. Thx.

Let her try again, too soon to write her off. She seemed in a funk from first whistle, not happy- I’m guessing Geno told her she was last on sub list, maybe due to practice effort. Well, if so, it’s in her power to change that, which I’m hoping will happen. In tennis, if your baseline game isn’t leading to success, start charging the net in the second set. Maybe Amari should try utilizing an inside power game and stay if possible around the basket, and don’t just hang out from outside. Learn from Jamelle how to be tough!

freshler40 is on to something. Dorka has this problem of bring the ball down to her waist after a rebound. This is a major problem and it keeps her from going back up with any strength on put backs. I thought , from watching her last season, that she had a shoulder problem. Nonetheless, she needs to learn to go up with some strength. If she has any hopes of playing in the W she can not bring a rebound down to her waist. She won't have time to recover. And she gives up her natural strength. As a big girl, she needs to maximize her size and she cannot do that by bringing the ball down low. She's got to keep the ball up high
