Mario Cristobal and his staff did an exceptional job with the 2024 class. Miami made the DL a priority and delivered. The Hurricanes signed a top 10 class for the second consecutive year after finishing with the seventh-ranked 2023 class. Expect some of the 2024 signees to make an impact as true freshmen this fall.
