Dayton xfer G Amber Deane to IUWBB

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Amber Deane  - the Hoosiers look at the 5-foot-9 guard as a possible graduate transfer for the 2016-17 season.  Deane played nine games for the Flyers in 2015-16, averaging a team-high 15.3 points per game. Her season was cut short in December by a left quadriceps injury.  Deane had an extremely productive career as a Flyer. She started all but two games her first two seasons and was the Atlantic 10’s Rookie of the Year in 2013. Deane went on to score 1,194 points and hit 48.6 percent of her shots in 104 games. In her final three seasons, she converted better than 80 percent of her free throws.

We currently have 2 scholarship openings.  Full story on Deane:

I'm really excited for what Moren is putting together. I was a big fan of Coach Miller and honestly did not think Moren would succeed. Very happy I was wrong! Thanks '66 for the updates!

The last line is the important one here, we still have a spot open, have not heard anything new or a timeline for a Corsaro decision, but would have hated to see us not have one available for her had she wanted to come here.

Looks like a quality signing for the program and gives us a little more perimeter size, could make a really good guard wing rotation with Buss, Cahill, McBride, Elbert, Deane, and hopefully Corsaro
