Believe it or not, I like the returning core nucleus at WR.  Estime and Cornelius showed a lot of playmaking promise, and Broyld is coming off a solid year where he created a lot of mismatches.  Estime in particular really flashed speed / playmaking ability.  And West can shift back into the 3rd receiver / 4th receiver complimentary role where he thrived in 2012.  Paris gained a ton of meaningful experience last year and made important plays for us.  And I haven't even brought up someone like Funderburk who might take a step forward this season.

If I had to guess, my expectation is that either Williams or Ismael have the potential to see meaningful snaps as freshman. The question in my mind is: is either of them capable of providing Quinton Spotwood-esque freshman contributions?

I know that the perception is that last year we lacked playmakers.  That began to change once Estime emerged, and once Cornelius started to get a bit more run.  I'm actually encouraged by the group of returning players we have being better than last year.  I'd expect one frosh to get into the rotation, but the others are in a solid position to be redshirted--which is a step in the right direction for a club that has lacked depth for many years, and had to rush players onto the field before many of them were ready.
