Reese, Vault and McShepard plus the incoming Freshman plus the 2nd year players. I'd say help has arrived and people that bashed springer will be eating crow.
Hate to say it again but WR position needs a lot of help

But McShepard is a pretty good athlete and probably one of our fastest players. I am guessing Hartage or maybe PW passed him on the depth chart at CB. Hopefully he can make a difference.

Did Marcus play any WR before at the h.s. level? He seems pretty fast, but the question is if he can be a Power 5 level WR.

He did a bit. One story has it that he moved to CB in part to help a teammate gain more exposure as a WR for recruiting purposes. This sounds a bit embellished, but it is safe to say that your best athletes are often the corners due to the demands of the position.
I'm feeling a little better about our WR corps now, though obviously we'll have to wait to find out if these changes will move the needle for our awful passing game.
