One of two newcomers to the Florida Atlantic men's basketball roster is 6'3" guard Dennis Mavin, who hails from Gainesville's The Rock School, where he averaged 15.1 ppg as a senior and was named FACA's North Florida 1A/2A Player of the Year. He was also recognized as the #16 prospect in the 2010 class statewide according to floridahoops.com.

Mavin's early assignment at FAU will be to compete for playing time and also add an intensity in practices. It may not be long before he is there, offering a skill that the Owls have sorely lacked at times in recent years.

"He has an incredible first step and can really take the ball to the basket. He's going to give us another - and may be our best - person at attacking the basket, getting into the lane, and creating opportunities for other people as well as himself", said Coach Mike Jarvis.
