No. 7 Miami Hurricanes Projected Depth Chart Vs. Virginia Tech
In this story:
ACC play is here for No. 7 Miami and they have the roster to compete with some of the best in the country.
They will start to get some players back in the lineup that they have been missing for several games which will only aid to what the team has been missing.
Jalen Rivers was scheduled to return last week against USF but he was held out to protect him for ACC play. Rueben Bain Jr. has still been out and the team is looking for a great time for him to return as well.
Mario Cristobal has built a roster with depth this season so his team will be prepared for anything. That is something that has been working with a few key players down as they take on Virginia Tech (2-2) Friday on ESPN at 7:30 ET.
