    SarrPierre Sarr, a 6-foot-7 wing forward from Roselle (N.J.) Catholic who is originally from Senegal, committed to Monmouth Thursday night.

    Josh Newman of the Asbury Park Press broke the news.

    “He’s become much more consistent in his play and I think his effort play in and play out has become much much better,” RC coach Dave Boff told the Asbury Park Press. “He’s become a better defensive player since he came to us and certainly a better rebounder.”

    Sarr also considered Hofstra, LIU, Canisius,St. Peter’s, and St. Bonaventure. He joins 6-10 Lake Forest (Ill.) Academy forward Diago Quinn in coach King Rice’s recruiting class.

    Sarr averaged 8.8 points and 4.3 rebounds last season before enduring a wrist injury Jan. 29.

    Sarr is the second RC big man to commit this fall, following Chris Silva, who picked South Carolina.

    Senior guard Isaiah Briscoe is down to St. John’s, Kentucky and UConn, and hasn’t set a date for announcing.

    The NCAA early signing period runs Nov. 12-19.
