The Hurricanes continue to raid the Midwest for tight ends.

He chose the Hurricanes over offers from Florida State and Ohio State, among others. Schott, a standout at Indiana’s Leo High, is listed at 6-foot-3 and weighs about...

CORAL GABLES — The Hurricanes entered Wednesday night’s showdown with Duke shorthanded, missing two starters for their matchup with the nation’s No. 8 team.

The Seminoles (11-6, 5-1 ACC) came to the Watsco Center having won five straight games in Coral Gables, and they extended that streak to six with an 84-75 win over Miami (12-5, 3-3 ACC) on Wednesday night.

Chaminade-Madonna’s 47-7 win over Miami Archbishop Carroll in the Class 1M state semifinals on Friday may have been Jeremiah Smith’s last home game in South Florida. Unless Mario Cristobal has anything to say about it. The Hurricanes are still persistently recruiting the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the final weeks before the Early Signing Period, which begins on Dec. 20, hoping to get him to flip his commitment from Ohio State to the hometown program, which already has commitments from two of his teammates, Joshisa Trader and Zaquan Patterson.
