**Something to keep your eye on, offensive tackle Kaleb Boateng, who appears to be a Pitt lean, made an unofficial visit over the weekend to hometown Florida. At this point, the Gators haven’t offered him but that could change.

**Over the weekend, Central Catholic defensive end Brian Dallas made a verbal commitment to Kent State.

**2020 5-star center Hunter Dickinson (Hyattsville, Maryland) visited Jeff Capel and the Pitt basketball program on Saturday and picked up an offer from the Panthers. Dickinson is rated as one of the top 20 juniors in the country.

**Bad news for one of Pitt’s future ACC opponents. Duke announced yesterday that cornerback Mark Gilbert (hip) and quarterback Daniel Jones (broken left clavicle) would miss the remainder of the season. Jones is a huge loss because he’s considered by some to be a future 1st round pick.
