Yes that is the fake article referencing a year old article that everyone has been making fun of.

My dad recently made a FB profile because he wasn't able to scroll through marketplace without being logged in, which is great so he can now message those assholes as well when he finds something.
He has a handful of friends on his list mainly family because he doesn't want to read their bullshite.
He calls me asking what's wrong with lee Mayberry. I'm like nothing he's coaching HS and won a state championship this year I believe. Some AI slop article with like 10K reactions was stating he was on his death bed due to cancer. I'm like yeah don't be clicking in those articles.
As far as the roster a more physical defense is being put together next year, still needs the bigs to fill this out. This was the issue with trevon and Ewing, they couldn't guard the post with a bully down low. Pringle was better but the teams would use the high pick and roll to draw him away from the block.
As good as Arizona is, this team made their defense looks weak and suspect during the game and zona didn't dominate the boards and offensive glass. IMO this team was a physical post player short all season and Knox going down with injury took away a piece that could cause these teams to have to adjust some on the front line.
I understand wanting to have a short rotation of 7-8 guys. I get his logic of not wanting to waste time and resources on the 9-12 spots who are going to transfer for playing time anyway, but IMO you need 10 guys who can play and contribute even if they are specialized rolls for certain situations using guys who may end up with coaches decision DNPs. Surely you can pick up some grad transfers from lower conferences who would be alright with being role players to fiill out the bottom half of the roster. Maybe a guy who is only good at jacking up threes who knows his futire is in coaching not playing. Maybe the right offer for this guy is to transition in to a grad assistant role here or helping place his on another staff, Cal definitely has the connections to make this offer.
Guys like this always show up in games like bama where you have your rotation foul out in overtime or in the tourney when your rotation is gassed and need a breather between media time outs early in the second half in the second game of the weekend but they never show up if you don't have them.

Yeah I agree, you need a solid 6th man and another guy or two that can eat minutes without seeing your lead evaporate. Just look at the box scores for the games and there is very little scoring from the bench for all the teams outside of the top bench guy/6th man. Most bench players don't even score beyond that, so I think getting a couple of guys that can at least defend is pretty big.
Losing Knox hurt a lot more than a few realize, he was our 2nd highest rated defender on a team that desperately needed defense. Active and physical on the glass too.
You get a few teams that do what Cal does and start a Pringle but his replacement plays the starter minutes.
