Horrible trend ahead. From 10th to 20th to unranked. Yikes. Won't be much better when we revisit the 2017 Revisit column.

For 2016, Miami finished 22nd nationally according to 247. However, was unranked here. Tons of attrition and non-contributors.
For 2015, Miami finished 27th nationally according to 247. In a re-ranking, finished 20th.
For 2014, Miami finished 12th nationally according to 247. In a re-ranking, finished 10th.
From the 2015 column --
20. Miami (Fla.)
Adjusted average: 2.69
Hit rate: 65 percent
Class rank in 2015: 27th
Four-year record: 34-18
Top signees: S Jaquan Johnson, DT Gerald Willis III, DT RJ McIntosh, RB Mark Walton, DT Kendrick Norton
This group is a nice example of why Manny Diaz is the head coach of the Hurricanes today. He and his defensive coaches developed some big-time players from this class, the last one signed by Al Golden. Nine signees in this class were starters on the 2017 team that won 10 games, and seven have started 20-plus games. This was an especially strong class on the defensive line and in the secondary, where Johnson, Michael Jackson and Sheldrick Redwine combined for 79 career starts. Willis, who joined the program in 2015 as a transfer, enjoyed a breakthrough year as a senior and garnered All-America honors.
From the 2014 column --
10. Miami (Fla.)
Adjusted average: 2.74
Hit rate: 63%
Class rank in 2014: 12th
Four-year record: 33-19
Top signees: TE David Njoku, QB Brad Kaaya, OL KC McDermott, DE Chad Thomas, OL Trevor Darling
Al Golden’s staff was responsible for signing this class, and Richt and his coaches have done an excellent job coaching these guys up to their potential. Most of the leaders on Miami’s 2017 team hailed from this class. The ’Canes were able to grab two productive quarterbacks in this class with Kaaya and Malik Rosier. Njoku was truly a steal, a three-star athlete from New Jersey who turned into a first-round NFL pick. Ten signees left the program, but that kind of attrition tends to come with a coaching change.
