The man named after two presidents
I think he's a Preferred Walk-On, mostly because we don't have any scholarships left and because he doesn't have the greatest recruiting pedigree (only other listed offer was from Mercer and it was made before he spent a year in prep school). I like this pick-up At the very least, he adds some depth at the guard positions (which we somehow need for the first time since we went D1, I think). From the video I've seen, he looks like a poor man's Kendrick Nunn. Like Nunn was a better player coming out of high school, but they have similar skillsets. I don't know how much playing time Monroe will get here, but whenever he does get on the court, Kampe should know how to use him.

Yeah he does look like a poor man's Kendrick Nunn. We will see how things turn out.

I was told by an assistant coach that Monroe is on scholarship and they expect him to be a prominent part of the rotation. Coach said he averaged almost 30 a game in prep school and was headed to Army. At the last minute he decided he didn’t want that and he kind of fell into our lap. Coach said we were very lucky to get Madison.

Interesting. I wonder who's actually not on scholarship that we previously thought was.

Assuming he is taking Nate Brooks’ scholarship. He’s the only scholarship player that hasn’t been confirmed to be on campus so far

Looks like he has great footwork and bidy control. His shot looks good, but I have no idea what his % shooting is. I don't like that his shot looks like it takes an extra half second to get off off though.
Also, is there any truth to the rumor that I just made up that his middle name is Roosevelt?
