The Frank Walker Law/PSN Daily Notebook- February 14

Update (5:52 p.m.)-

Pitt football offered Class of 2025 four-star offensive lineman Justin Hasenhuetl on Wednesday. Hasenhuetl plays for Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Rabun Gap, Ga. near the northern border, but hails from Germany and the city of Cologne or Köln.

Recruiting sites unanimously rate him as a four-star offensive lineman. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 8 interior lineman, No. 23 player in Georgia and No. 162 recruit in his class, respectively. Rivals ranks him as No. 27 at his position and No. 36 in Georgia in his class, respectively.

Hasenhuetl released a top 10 school list on Tuesday, which includes ACC schools in Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Miami, Big Ten schools in Michigan, Penn State and USC and SEC schools in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

Update (12:49 PM)-

Two names that are likely to be on Ohio State’s list of candidates to replace Chris Holtmann, per source.

Sean Miller and Lamont Paris.

While guys like Mick Cronin, Nate Oats and TJ Otzelberger have hefty buyouts, Miller’s is manageable. https://t.co/mwZUzqZnMC

Update (11:59 AM)-

I would argue that Pitt's two best wins stack up better than anyone else's on the list. I also included the Q3 records to show that Pitt isn't the only team out there with Q3 losses.

Conference records are notable as well:

Pitt: 7-6
Colorado: 7-6
Providence: 7-7
Villanova: 6-7…

Knocking ACC 🏀 has become Taylor Swift-hip, and the haters figure to seize upon Pitt’s upset of #UVa as further evidence of the conference’s malaise.

But this was an endorsement of the Panthers rather than indictment of the Cavaliers or league. ⬇️ https://t.co/PGjpYVlLuD
