CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Miami's poor finish may have cost it a chance at the Atlantic Coast Conference title. It did not, however, cost the Hurricanes with college prospects as they finished atop the league Wednesday at the start of the early signing period.
Miami lost to Georgia Tech and Syracuse over its last three games to fall from contention for a league crown. It did much better with its latest signing class, its group of 19 finishing 14th nationally in the 247Sports Composite rankings.
