I was one of the pessimists because I simply don't trust the NCAA Clearinghouse and how it seems like they randomly rule on these cases. I am very glad to see that he is cleared and can play.

I'm glad this is behind us, but...
Kids of Matej Svoboda's age are usually graduating from college, not trying to make the freshmen class. If he didn't make it through the NCAA clearinghouse, we would have more to worry about than him playing basketball.

Well, you weren't alone. We had a lot of skeptical fans when it came to Matej's eligibility, commitment, and loyalty during the coaching change. We're all excited that it worked out.
His age and maturity could be really settling for a young team like ours. It would be like having a 21 year old on the team in HS. If Matej is a leader, by skill and/or composure, it can be the glue that helps a team in transition stay together.

Honestly I see him being a leader this year even if he doesn't play a ton of minutes. I think AG needs to be having 1:1 meetings with this guy to make sure his head is in the right place. "Look, you're not a kid, I need you to be a coach on the floor. You have the perspective to know what's important and what's not."
Kind of like Crash Davis. Get to make a man's salary for playing a kid's game.

I watched all Matej's you tube videos and he can really shoot the three ball! If he shoots anywhere close to the percentage he did for the U-20 team and shows the leadership ability that AG expects out of him he will be a great asset to all the young players coming in.
The only aspect of his game that I could see that needs improvement is his defense but that could be said for every single player. Baby D saw the light and the benefit of tightening up his defense with increased playing time and I hope all the new players see the light as well!
Shooting will not be a problem next season! I feel that this team will shoot the eyes out of the basket but defense, in the end, will win games!
