[3] Although Cannon improved his skills in his final two years at William Allen, he wasn't highly recruited and was considered undersized for a power forward.

[4] St. Francis Brooklyn was the only college that offered Cannon a scholarship and that was due in large part to former Terriers assistant coach Andy Johnston, who saw potential in him.

[5] Cannon officially signed with St. Francis on December 16, 2010, and was an immediate impact player for then second year head coach Glenn Braica.

His leadership and impact were exemplified when after a five-game losing streak, Cannon led his team to 2 consecutive victories against Colgate and NJIT by averaging 23.5 points and 9.0 rebounds.

[8] At the end of his sophomore year, Cannon finished second in the league in rebounding (8.9 RPG), 5th in field goal percentage (.556) and tied for ninth in scoring (14.7 PPG).

After graduating from St. Francis College, Cannon agreed with Overtime International Sports to represent him as he looked to FIBA Europe for a team to sign with.

[19] Cannon ended up signing with the Jefes de Fuerza Lagunera of the Mexican National Professional Basketball league.

[22] On February 21, 2016, Cannon scored a career high 32 points and grabbed 7 rebounds against Fuerza Regia de Monterrey.

[23] Prior to his arrival, the team was 3–7 and had since gone 14–9 until they were forced to forfeit their last 6 games due to not meeting roster regulations because of player suspensions.

[28] Cannon continued to play for Fortitudo Agrigento and was selected as the Lumicom A2 West Most Valuable Player of the Month for February after he tallied double-doubles in four-straight games.
