Early life

[edit]

Mobley is the son of Ronald and Pamela Mobley and grew up in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Worcester, Massachusetts. As a child he always begged his mother to go to the playground where he would play basketball against teenagers. Mobley developed into a star at St. Peter-Marian High School and averaged 28.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game as a senior. He led the team to the Central Massachusetts Division 1 title game and earned 2012 Hometeam Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year award. He opted to spend a postgraduate year at Worcester Academy and developed into a good scorer after Rene Castro was injured.[1] Besides Castro, who later played against Mobley at Duquesne, Mobley played alongside several future Division 1 players at Worcester Academy: Darryl Reynolds (Villanova), Matt Cimino (George Washington/American) and Matt Panaggio (Mercer).[2]
