2025 Recruiting: Amarri Monroe: UConn in final 6

[Matrim55]

One of the more important targets on our radar. I like our chances here fwiw.

I don’t know, Rutgers has 2 top 5 picks and finished 11 in B1G….

Would imagine his NIL "ask" would be reasonable vs other SF/PF portals. One year left-Correct?

 

[UCFan1513]

No reason we can’t beat out that group. Plus maybe he wants to stay local

 

[Huskyforlife]

Knowing how we zero in on targets, I think anyone could read the tea leaves here.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Strong defender and would be a big boost athletically. Pairing him with Demary and the returners would allow for a lot of switching 1-4.

Just Kansas I'd be concerned about.

 

[JMick]

His rebounding numbers are insane.

There is certainly an important role for someone like him to play. One that suits his strengths quite well.

Now does he want to play that role?

Gotta be concerned about everybody when NIL money is being thrown around. You don't know what a team is willing to pay

 

[UConnSwag11]

He’s not going to transfer to come off the bench. I’d assume his spot is possibly open

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Monroe is an excellent fit. Can backup 3/4 if Karaban stays and can start at 4 and/or backup 3/4 if Karaban leaves.

Monster rebounding squad too if he signs up.

 

[NewBlood]

Steps into #4 if AK leaves. Gives some rebounding prowess to go with Reed

Reed, Stewart, Reibe and him makes a great rotation at 4/5

 

[EBonz30]

Not sure about this guy- see below on his numbers verse better competition last 2 years- obviously small sample size- overall numbers show he isn’t a very efficient shooter & not sure if he will be able to rebound at that clip in the Power 5;

@ St. John’s- 4 Points 6 REB 0/9 FG 0/5 3PT 2024

@ Saint Louis- 4 Points 8 REB 2/11 FG 0/4 3PT 2024

@ Yale- 23 Points 5 REB 9/22 FG 1/9 3PT 2024

vs Hofstra- 20 Points 11 REB 6/23 FG 2/7 3PT 2024

@ Mass- 13 Points 3 REB 5/6 FG 2/2 3PT 2023

Vs Yale- 6 Points 4 REB 2/5 FG 2/4 3PT 2023

@ Florida- 8 Points 4 REB 3/8 FG 0/4 3PT 2023

Also shooting overall @ 40.5% & 27.3% at Quinnipiac is kind of scary, if he can’t be efficient in that league as a 6 foot 7 wing- not sure how he will make out verse better competition & athletes

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Not sold on this one at all unless he’s a backup. Would want a better shooter replacing AK and seems like he just physically outclassed a weaker conference which wouldn’t be the case here.

[Chin Diesel]

Monroe is an excellent fit. Can backup 3/4 if Karaban stays and can start at 4 and/or backup 3/4 if Karaban leaves.

Monster rebounding squad too if he signs up.

And, hopefully some physicality for the beefy PF's in the BE.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

He shot 35% from 3 last season on lower usage. Highlights show a lot of 3’s off the dribble this past season at a very low efficiency. Presumably he would be taking much more high percentage shots as a secondary piece of the UConn offense.

 

[imno1]

Only concern is his initials.

 

[Captbluefin]

I think we can do better than him.

The coaching staff knows what they are doing so we shall see

Based on what?

 

[WinnersCircle]

Anyone get Shonn Miller vibes here?

Anyone get Shonn Miller vibes here?

Great minds think alike! Yeap I was thinking that too and that worked out great for KO that one season he made the round of 32.

 

[Captbluefin]

Based on what?

The teams he was playing against..
Remember that guy Mahaney?

And anyone could come out of nowhere and "donate" for a player.
