Can we keep our WR's

What's the feelings on the Tigers being able to survive this coming off-season and keep all our young WR's? This group of Moore, Brown, Wesco, and Williams is the group that could help reestablish our offense.

Most of the guys who choose Clemson are 110% invested. I'd be surprised if any of the young guys decide to leave. The only one I'm surprised is still at Clemson is Antonia Williams. That kid would be electric in a functioning offense. Actually, someone else I'm surprised is still enrolled at Clemson is 3/4* Noble Johnson. Dude has been completely forgotten.

No let's spend their money on high school seniors and lose one or two.
At least we will have "adapted to the times."

No. While I hope we will, I don't think we keep them all.
As for who is leaving, that's hard to say. I think this year was viewed by many as the year Clemson would put it all together. We had our easiest schedule in years, and a mature offensive line, along with all this young talent. Next year, we're going to lose a lot. Marcus Tate and Walker Parks are seniors. Both of their backups are redshirt seniors so we don't have clear depth behind them (hence Dabo's talking about playing a bunch of walkons). Tristan Leigh is a redshirt junior. Briningstool is gone, as is Mafah, and we clearly don't have depth behind Mafah. Based on who's behind them and our recruiting, I think it's hard to say Clemson's offense next year will be better. While it's not as big of a deal to receivers, the defense will also likely take a step back, since we're losing Page, Williams, Carter, and Mickens, and could lose one or two more. On top of that, Wesco and Moore have been absolute studs, but they're still sharing playing time, which most elite athletes don't like.
If you were Williams, Wesco, or Moore, and had your choice between staying at Clemson, or leaving, and potentially (a) having a better shot at a championship; (b) having more playing time; and (c) more money, what would you do?
That said, this is all dependent on whether they have lucrative offers from better schools. I could see that being the case, but that's not definite. It's also possible they see Beaux Collins as a cautionary tale.

I’m concerned about losing Wesco. He seems a bit disillusioned but I hope I’m reading too much into the body language.

I thought the same about Wesco. His demeanor changed a few weeks ago and he is no longer being targeted like he was. Of course, he is no longer a secret, so he could be drawing the top DB from the opponents? I just think Texas money becomes a factor yet again!!
