Mecole? Reed? Cleveland? Clark? Anyone else? Would love if they all come back but I’d assume Mecole is likely gone. Could see the other 3 returning. Thoughts?

I dont think Mecole would leave. Not really the prototypical WR with his size.
I could see Elijah leaving though. Especially if he continues to play well. Wouldnt blame him either.

Don't see any one of them leaving unless they screw up in school.
I thought maybe Clark before the season but he's taken
a step back this year IMO.
No reason to leave unless you're projected as 1st or 2nd rounder and all listed will improve their draft status if they stick around.

Reed, perhaps. Clark was thought to be a candidate to leave early before the season started but he’s been very inconsistent this season. I don’t see Hardman being drafted highly but I also don’t see him improving his draft stock much if he comes back. Cleveland will be back; RS Sophomore with less than a full season of experience at a position that generally isn’t a premium in the draft. Holyfield will probably be back, he’s shown flashes but there really isn’t much film on him.
You’re also dealing with young men and the prospect of big paydays. Any of them could make the jump, but I don’t think any of them would be wise to do so at this point. Next year you’ll start to see guys like Thomas, perhaps Cleveland, and maybe Swift leaving early and it will continue to get more frequent if our recruiting classes continue to remain in the top 5.

I don’t see any underclassman leaving early. Mecole needs to add 10 pounds to be effective at the next level. Cleveland and Reed would likely be 4th-5th round picks, doesn’t make sense. As for Clark, the DL is stacked in the 2019 draft. He’d be a fool to join that crop. The 2020 class is weaker on the interior DL, so he has a chance to move up to a 2nd rounder with a strong senior season.
