CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami coach Mark Richt and his staff are on the road recruiting this week, looking for players to fill various needs next year and beyond.His shopping list might expand soon.Quarterback Brad Kaaya -- who became Miamis all-time passing leader in Saturdays regular-season-ending victory over Duke -- has not divulged his plans yet, though it seems likely that he skips his senior season and enters the NFL draft. Theres other underclassmen who will also take a look at leaving early, and that means Richt will be having some important meetings soon.I dont know what Im doing, honestly, Kaaya said.If so, thats where Richt will offer whatever help he can provide.Whats about to happen at Miami is no different than what will happen at plenty of other schools in the coming days and weeks. Theres an NFL draft advisory board that, if contacted, will report back to a player and say if evaluators believe he is a likely first-rounder, likely second-rounder or other -- their way of saying, return to school.Kaaya will likely ask that board for input, and said he also has a group of mentors whose brains he will pick.I want whats best for all our guys, Richt said. If its in the best interest for him to move on, then thats what we want for him. Is that necessarily true? I dont know. Thats what weve got to investigate. Theres time between now and when they have to declare to try to get a real clear picture of whats in his best interest.Its not just Kaaya that Miami could lose early.Tight end David Njoku, who had touchdown catches of 58 and 76 yards in the win over Duke, is also likely to take a hard look at the NFL -- where former Hurricanes Jimmy Graham and Greg Olsen have been among the leagues best at the position this season. And running back Joe Yearby, a 1,000-yard rusher in 2015 who took a back seat to starter Mark Walton this year, is weighing his options.Ill talk to them soon, Richt said of the Hurricanes who may leave early. The first meeting is just about trying to get a feel for what theyre thinking. If theyre like, `Coach, Im coming back no matter what, it makes it pretty simple. If they say, `Im not sure, then it gets to a point where I want them to understand how Im going to go about it -- and that is educate them the best we can with the best information. Thats really NFL information.Until then, Miami will wait.There are no practices for probably two weeks or so, time that the Hurricanes will spend conditioning and working on academics. Miamis bowl destination will be finalized next Sunday, and its typical for most players to wait until the bowl game to announce if theyre staying or leaving.Kaayas timetable is unclear. But after a season in which Miami started 4-0, then went 0-4 and finished on another 4-0 stretch, he did acknowledge that hes savoring what this team has done.The guys didnt quit, Kaaya said. The guys kept getting up every day and going to work and doing the little things right. I figured at some point something had to give. The ball was going to go our way at some point because the guys never gave up.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Nike Zoom Shoes Ireland . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.

FRISCO, Texas -- Rookie sensations Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott made the playoffs with four games to spare in Dallas.The Cowboys and their young stars could clinch everything else -- topped by home-field advantage throughout the playoffs -- with three games remaining if they beat the New York Giants on Sunday night and get some help.Coasting isnt part of the plan for the NFLs best first-year quarterback and the leagues leading rusher.Thats never been our mindset is to coast at any point, Prescott said Wednesday. We get up in games, its not, `Lets coast this game out and finish this win. Its, `Keep the pedal on the metal and get things done.Dallas (11-1) has a shot at a 12-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history , against the only team to beat the Cowboys -- the Giants (8-4) in the opener. A win will wrap up Dallas second NFC East title in three years, and the Cowboys can clinch a first-round bye with either a Detroit loss or tie or a Seattle loss.If both those things happen with the Lions and Seahawks, a Dallas win would mean the Cowboys dont play another meaningful game until the divisional round of the playoffs in five weeks. Thats a lot of time for things to grow stagnant.We dont know how to coast, linebacker Justin Durant said. Check out our practices. Youll see that its no coasting involved. Were always pushing each other at practice, trying to get the best out of each other. So Im not worried about that at all.Durant was with the Cowboys two years ago when they had little chance to change their playoff positioning in the finale at Washington. Coach Jason Garrett chose to play quarterback Tony Romo and most of the regulars on the way to a four-game winning streak to end the regular season.The Cowboys beatt Detroit in a wild-card game at home before falling to Green Bay in the divisional round on the road.ddddddddddddI think its just the mentality that we have as a team and what coach preaches, Durant said. And thats, you get out of it what you put into it. We have to work in order to get good results. Thats what we come in here every day and do.This time, the question figures to come up much earlier. But Garretts answer isnt likely to change much.Yeah, were just focused on Wednesday, he said. Locked in on our meetings this morning. And now were getting ready for practice. Thats the world we live in.There will be an interesting twist if the Cowboys have the luxury of games they dont have to win. Romo is backing up Prescott after the rookies sensational run put the 10-year starter on the bench when he was ready to return from a preseason back injury. As soon as the Cowboys clinch everything, Garrett will face a new round of Romo questions over whether the Cowboys should protect Prescott by playing the franchise leader in yards passing and touchdowns.But that issue can wait. For now, the question is whether the Cowboys can keep their edge.A mentality is something youve built up to get to this point, Elliott said. Its something that is your character. If youre the type of guy who coasts, youre the type of guy who coasts. But we dont have those type of guys in this locker room. I dont have any worries about that.The Cowboys are likely to be tested, though.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
