Getting a better understanding of this today. In short, I’m told this is a workflow tool, not a writing tool for WSU. Articles still human written, no staff replacement - their plan is to add a sports information director soon. Key goal: reduce postgame hours for current staff.

Steve Gleason returned to his alma mater for the Gleason Life Skills Football Clinic. Poor air quality forced the cancellation of outdoor activities, but Gleason & his team - including Tampa Bay Buccaneer Devin Culp - pushed forward to encourage, teach and inspire. #TeamGleason

“It sounds like a cliché but it was so fast. You think that you’ve got time to prepare.”
Tonight on @KREM2 Jon Schuler describes the grief of losing his home in the #UpRiverFire and how he’s leaning on his faith to navigate what’s next.
Received this video of a retardant drop on the #UpriverFire. It appears to show homes that were destroyed. DNR confirms homes were lost, but we’re still waiting on official word on how many.

We interviewed Carter Nilson 13 years ago while he was being coached by dad Mike. 5 year old Carter knew all along his dream in basketball.
“I want to keep playing because it’s super fun. (I wanna) play for Gonzaga.”
Carter will walk on and play for Mark Few next season. Surreal.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement today regarding the passing of Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke:
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of Brandon Clarke. As one of the longest-tenured members of the Grizzlies, Brandon was a beloved teammate and leader who played the game with enormous passion and grit. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Brandon’s family, friends and the Grizzlies organization.”
Mark Hanrahan retweeted
Brandon Clarke still holds Gonzaga program records for highest field goal percentage in a season (68.7%), most offensive rebounds in a season (114) and at 6’8” is tied with 7’1” Chet Holmgren for the most blocks in a single season with 117. Special, special talent gone too soon.

UPDATE MAY 7: Scaling work continues on a slope above SR 20 near Diablo Lake. Crews use hand tools, air compression (and a little muscle) to send loose rock down the slope.
SR 20 remains closed from MP 130-156. More info in our latest blog update bit.ly/SR20blog
UPDATE MAY 6: After getting equipment on site, our contractor began inspecting the slope and dislodging loose rocks and debris. This delicate process, called scaling, will continue for several days.
SR 20 remains closed from MP 130-156. No access for hiking, biking or camping.
ALT An orange and white construction left sits at the base of a slope with a pile of rocks behind it. Crew members inspect the top of the slope. A mountain vista is in the background on a sunny day.

BREAKING: Gonzaga has landed 7’1” monster transfer center Massamba Diop. The projected 2027 lottery pick averaged 13.6 points per game last season at ASU. If Braden Huff comes back healthy, Gonzaga will once again have the scariest frontcourt in the nation. Massive, massive get.

A one of a kind career and one of the greatest stories in the history of college basketball. Congratulations to Coach Few on this tremendous honor.
BREAKING—Mark Few has been voted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, sources told @CBSSports. Few, 63, built a one-of-a-kind story at Gonzaga, turning a small Jesuit school into one of the biggest brands in CBB. Two NCAA title games, 773-156 record, 44 league titles + more
