<p><span style="text-align: start;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size: 16px;">&quot;I&apos;m very excited about Matej being a part of the Shocker basketball program,&quot; Mills said. &quot;He fits the mold of the type of player we were looking for due to his rebounding, isolation ability around the rim, passing skills and his ability to stretch the floor. He is an experienced player who has the physical makeup to make an impact as soon as he gets to Wichita. Please join me in welcoming him to Shocker Nation.&quot;</span></p>
