Nate Santos has been providing some things off the bench for Pitt lately, and today @StephenGertz is looking at what Santos has been doing well - and what he can do going forward.

A few thoughts this morning:

- I expect Daejon Reynolds to announce his commitment to Pitt any day now. I haven't heard that anything has changed, and as far as I know, he should be in Pittsburgh right now; it seems like the only thing missing is him announcing it.

- I don't get the sense there's a lot of urgency in getting another transfer receiver right now. I don't think the staff is opposed to it, and if one of the other targets were to express an interest in visiting and/or committing, they wouldn't say no. But from what I can see, they're not pushing for it right now. I'm sure they're keeping an eye on the portal - who goes in, who's available, who would fit, etc. - simply because that's what every staff is doing at every position, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind getting another receiver, but it doesn't seem like there's a heavy emphasis on it right now.

- If that's where things end up, then the receiver room will be very much relying on youth in 2023. Konata Mumpfield and Bub Means are the only returning scholarship players with any kind of meaningful experience. Reynolds has about 12 career catches, which is still more than anybody else behind Mumpfield and Means. And then there are four freshmen coming in. I'm guessing at least two of those four play enough to burn their redshirts, and if the current situation stands, I could see at least one of the freshmen being a top-4 receiver.

- Of course, there's a long way to go between now and August, so this is far from settled. But that scenario is at least one possibility that seems likely.

Eats our lunch. Let’s hope some MAC team tries to hire him as HC soon. He is an awesome WPIAL recruiter.

Michigan has placed co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss on leave amid a University of Michigan Police Department investigation into alleged computer access crimes that occurred at Schembechler Hall in December.

Thought a little about Fede and was comparing him to Zanna at this same stage. Zanna was still pretty raw but had a face game and was a decent rebounder. But he took a big leap of I remember into his junior year and expanded his range and got more comfortable in the post.

Fede has a lot of work to do to compare to Zanna when he is a freshman. But he is 4 inches taller with probably more reach and has good body control for a kid that big and raw.

How do you guys see Fede ending up as a senior at Pitt based on the tools he has shown us so far? If he works hard of course to improve.

It’s early but they’re outplaying Clemson. Not going to be an easy out

Admittedly this is the one half I have watched of their season but they look good

So I just got notice that @Frazdigs is now following me. He joined Lair like 18 months ago. 0 messages and 0 likes 😂

Is this staff or a dude that is shy haha?

In the 1st Half

For whatever reason, highlights from Lamar Seymore's senior season are on a different Hudl page from his other highlights. It's not the full season either, but some good plays in here.

If some pretty good ACC jobs won’t be opening up pretty soon. Mike Brey and Notre Dame look like a shadow of themselves and Josh Pastner has to be feeling some heat.

It's his statement. In his statement he never mentioned he will be back next season to play. That's very telling. It was only that he decided to sit out for the rest of the season and to respect his decision.

I believe he purposely omitted mentioning that he will be back HERE next season because he knows he won't.

Just my gut feeling on this.

Pitt is up from an 11 seed to a 9 seed.

SOUTH - COLUMBUS, OH
1. Purdue
16. Southern/Morgan St.
8. Creighton
9. Pitt

Huggins’ long-time AHC at WVU was just dismissed pretty recently in a pretty unusual midseason dismissal.

Given that he’s a Pitt alum, I wonder if there’s a way to get him on the staff, even if it’s in an off-court role? Not talking about dismissing anyone, but there’s always room for more off-court guys.

If the Chargers fire him, then I hope we hire Chris Beatty back immediately.
