I’ve made these comments previously relative to Amari.  Bigs typically take more time to develop, and in Amari’s case we are talking about a player who’s entire senior season in HS was wiped out because of Covid, leaving her behind most of the freshman class.

While Amari’s PT was limited, what I saw in those minutes she did play is a Big with good hands, passing skills and a shooting touch out to the 3-pt line.  Amari needed to improve her fitness level and develop her low post skills at both ends of the court, something that she made a significant commitment to accomplishing by spending the entire summer in Storrs working with Andrea Hudy and the coaching staff.

As UConn fans, I don’t think we can ask for more from Amari in terms of her commitment to improve.  In a little more than a month we’ll get a much better look at Amari the basketball player.  But from the pictures we’ve already seen, Amari is leaner and fitter than ever.  I for one am expecting big things from Amari this coming season.
