Dan Pillari brings Monmouth’s classic glue-guy energy
Dan Pillari is best known as a tough, high-IQ Monmouth guard whose value goes beyond box scores: he was a key face of the Hawks’ nationally famous 2015-16 “Bench Mob,” showing enthusiasm, chemistry, and a team-first edge that coaches love. In the 2017-18 Monmouth record book, he was listed as a senior guard at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, with a career high of 7 points vs. Siena on Jan. 18, 2016. He looks like the kind of player who boosts culture, keeps the bench loud, and fits best with teams that prize energy, professionalism, and no-drama role acceptance.
