Pre-National Signing Day Conference Class Rankings

The Atlantic Coast Conference has seen its share of success on the football field this past season and it's beginning to show on the recruiting trail. Naturally, Florida State holds the lion's share of the conference's big name recruits. Although they are not the only team walking away with instant impact players come signing day.

Mike London at Virginia has a 5-star duo that's left Frank Beamer, and coaches around the country for that matter, envious. Larry Fedora has built up steam at North Carolina, keeping the Tar Heels' class lurking in the top 25. Then, of course, there's Frank Beamer and Bud Foster at Virginia Tech. Those two are almost always finding top notch defensive talent, regardless of whether they would look better in orange and green or not.

The fact of the matter is the Atlantic Coast Conference has managed to amass quite a few high-end recruits. Each team appears to be reloading or trending in a positive direction. This is great for the conference. However, what could this mean for our beloved Miami Hurricanes? Those other guys can't be getting talent, can they?
