Per AP:
The Hurricanes' three years on NCAA probation is over.
Scholarship restrictions won't be an issue for Miami going forward, and the Hurricanes can surely use the added depth that's coming. The stats from Thursday night's 37-16 loss at Virginia Tech showed Miami used 49 players — 25 being freshmen and sophomores, in some cases because of skill and in many cases because the roster is so decimated that Richt has few other options.
"It's great that we're going to be able to get to a full allotment of scholarships," Richt said Friday. "That's part of our issue right now, that we're very thin in a lot of spots. I think we might have had six true freshmen playing defense at the same time in that ballgame. So when you get your numbers back and you get a couple cycles of recruiting and get some depth, then you can withstand some of the injuries that we've had."
