After three seasons with UConn women’s basketball, junior forward Amari DeBerry announced Monday that she is entering the transfer portal.
DeBerry was the No. 15 prospect in the Class of 2021 and a McDonald’s All-American, and she is also a two-time gold medalist with USA Basketball.
However, the 6-foot-6 forward never found her footing with the Huskies, averaging just over six minutes per game over her career in Storrs.
She logged a career-low 4.4 minutes per game in 2023-24 and was ruled out for the final nine games of the season with a concussion suffered in practice before the Big East Tournament.
“I’ve cherished my 3 years as a Husky and I’m so thankful for my teammates and coaches during my time in Storrs,” DeBerry wrote in a post on X.
“I have decided to enter my name in the transfer portal, and I’m looking forward to this next chapter of my life!”
DeBerry is the first player to transfer out of UConn since 2021-22. Later on Monday, TheNextHoops.com reported sophomore guard Ines Bettencourt would also enter the transfer portal. Bettencourt, from Portugal, averaged just 5.6 minutes per game.
