Interesting.

8. Miami Hurricanes
Schlabach's ranking: NR
Kiper's top 50 prospects: 0
Kiper's positional prospects: 11
Four-year recruiting class average rank: 16.5
Am I reaching here? Maybe, but there isn't a whole lot to differentiate between programs like Miami, Michigan, Clemson or the ones listed below. I just find the Hurricanes interesting because of how many players return, including the entire offense. They're kind of easy to forget about, because of the self-imposed bowl ban, but they did win five of their seven games in the ACC -- and no team has a hold on the league, not even the Noles.
Miami's defense must improve, plain and simple. Giving up 6.1 yards per play and nearly 5 yards per carry is not going to cut it, especially in a league that is getting progressively better on offense. North Carolina and NC State are now stretching the field the way Clemson has since Chad Morris arrived. Nine starters return on that side of the ball, but as Steve Spurrier once joked, "sometimes it isn't good if you have a bunch of starters back from a bad team."
