Dave Mallon Decides

Dave Mallon, a 6-9 1/2, 210 pound power forward/center from East Aurora H.S. in East Aurora, N.Y., committed to St. Joe's, according to sources close to Mallon. Dave had chopped his list down to three schools this fall.

Mallon was seriously considering Pittsburgh, St. Joseph's and Canisius. In fact, Mallon has decided to sign on Friday, Nov. 16, when he will publicly announce his intentions at East Aurora H.S.

Mallon visited Pittsburgh (Oct. 12-14), St. Joseph's (Sept. 27-29) and Canisius (Oct. 26-28).

Mallon displayed quite a bit of potential this past summer with Mickey Walker's Donyell Marshall Foundation program. While he has a thin frame for a big man, he has some skills facing the basket and will no doubt continue to get stronger and fill out his frame in coming years. He will end up being a very good player.

Mallon averaged 18 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and eight blocks per game as a junior at East Aurora.

He also holds an 88 average in the classroom and has scored a 1010 on the SAT. Some of his pit stops this past summer included the first session of the Eastern Invitational Basketball Clinic and the adidas Big Time Tournament.
