"I'm still committed," Malone said. "It's close to home and my family, and it's a great education. The new coaching staff is nice, and they're straight-forward and didn't hide anything from me."
Malone said that he has been assured by Matt Doherty that his scholarship is still there for him. To provide further assurance, Doherty and/or one of his assistants were on the sidelines at practically every DFW Select game.
Malone didn't disappoint his future coaches either, as he often also drew a crowd of other coaching staffs. He played tough in the post, but also shot it well from beyond the arc, and took it aggressively to the hole where he'd often finish with the jam. He's been known as a hard worker and it's all starting to pay off.
