With Amari going the portal route, it will be interesting to see if Geno picks up a player via the portal or perhaps another recruit. I’m guessing he stands pat with what he has now !

Amari DeBerry has entered the transfer portal ! I didn't think she would. She really didn't seem all that interested in playing. Just seemed like she liked the team, being around it. And with only 1 year left to graduate. But, anyway, good luck. Hope she finds a nice place to finish up her degree.

I did NOT see this coming. Nope, not no how, not no way.
I hate it.
Just this, if Amari reads here: once a husky, always a husky.
As a fan I will always have a place for her in my heart. I hope her senior year affords her everything she ever wanted/needed in college.
Wasn't she one of the Dean's list members? Any school should be happy to have her as a student.

What now for Uconn? Sign a portal player. If so, who are the best options?

Good luck to her. Seemed like a very nice kid who was reportedly well-liked by the players and the coaches. So does Geno jump on HVL? Or Emily Rodriguez? DING DING DING!!!

Amari has big things in her future, just not on the basketball court. This move really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. This is a basketball team that’s looking for #12. Amari doesn’t fit the equation. I would think she and the coaching staff had a long talk. Like it’s been said she will always be a husky. Wishing her nothing but success in life.

Fare thee well, Amari. Thank you for all the energy you provided from the bench. I will always consider you part of the UConn family. I hope you find a place that fits you, and you can bring your positivity and energy to another team and get a chance to shine.
Amari was not really a surprise to me. I expected the possibility of two going to the portal, Amari is one.

Does every one REALLY think UConn needs another big? Semper, put your hand down. We know you do.

I could see HVL making a call and Geno would be polite and take it to say we don't have a need, but we are flattered you called.

Best thing for all involved. More initiative than I thought she had.

I'd grab her in a heartbeat. 2 years of a 6'3" very, very good rebounder and efficient scorer. But I'd bet she'll want to go where she gets the majority of competitive minutes, which is isn't easy to see at UConn. I think UCLA, Stanford or USC would all be good fits for him her (or them?).

So far my portal predictions are coming to fruition.
Goodbye Amari, go accomplish something great in your life glad your not taking up a coveted spot on the UConn bench.

Rodriguez reportedly has a UConn offer. Who else? Maybe Geno decides to save No 15 for 2025 with Fisher and Mamou-Mamnel committed and offers are out to Alexander, McGaughey, Z Johnson and Somfai.
I have no favorite and was only suggesting the most likely.

I think every one is gun, or injury, shy. Geno has rarely had a roster of 13 or more, which he has right now with Amari and Ines announcing for the portal. Fill in those two spots with players who want lots of minutes, you are going to find some very talented but unhappy players on the bench.
Look what Geno did this year with an injury depleted team this year. A "full" compliment of 13 players all able to contribute should be enough.

This is completely unnecessary. And cruel. Do better. No it’s not. How many spots are there on the UConn team? 15 max? How many girls coming out of HS aspire to have one of those seats? They would crawl to Geno! True I’m not at practice but I see with my eyes that there’s very little desire there to get better. I see little to no passion and zero improvement. It was a complete on court disaster. I do not think I was to harsh above, I was holding back !!! I did not personally attack her, to the contrary I wished her the best. Sorry I can’t say I love everything and everyone like some of u guys can do. That’s not reality. Join us in the real world for a bit.
