Deane on Czeski... "TJ had a great year on a sub par team as a senior. He will become a tremendous player now that he has decided to turn his focus to basketball. I just love the toughness and athleticism he showed during the year. His heady play and court vision make it a possibility for him to see playing time right away at the point guard position."
