With Mathews leaving, Cal now has an open scholarship spot on its roster. According to CBS Sports, Kentucky power forward Marcus Lee visited Cal on Tuesday and the Bears are a favorite to land him. He is a Bay Area native and attended Deer Valley High School in Antioch. Lee averaged 6.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in the 2015-16 season. If he decides to transfer to Cal, he will be required to sit out the 2016-17 season, per NCAA rules.
