I have hope in Amari.  I had heard about her when she was in early in HS.  She did not play against much competition in HS then onto AAU ball.  If you look at the hoopgurlz rankings coming out of HS she was pretty highly ranked but imo not tested.  I watch alot of WCBB and imo there are girls playing with less skills.  I would like to see Amari practice against boys to get her up to speed. Much like some other UConn bigs who took til their late junior or senior year to have an impact I think if Amari wants it she will be given a chance.  We dont know what she wants. Her team mates love her.  Shes 6'6.  IMO she is the missing piece to the puzzle to get us to a NC this season.  Time is running out this season.  She needs to work very hard.  I would love the chance to motivate her because at 6'6 she has a future and a career to make a name for herself.  At this point playing Amari against lower competition, or when UConn has big leads is giving her a chance.  Some players learn by playing in competition.  Dont throw her in against SC but against lesser competition when UConn has a big lead would help.  You guys know what Im saying.  A 6'6 girl is the missing piece to the puzzle this year.  If she fails then at least we gave it our all.  If she comes around.....................
