Jayson Stanley 6-2 205 Low 4 Star
Terry Godwin SO 5-11 185 5star
Michael Chigbu SO 6-2 215 Low 4star, High 3 by some
Reggie Davis SR 6-0 170lbs 3/4 star
Riley Ridley FR 6-2 197 4 Star composite
Isaiah Mckenzie Jr 5-8 175 4 Star
Charlie Hegedus SR 6-2 207 Low 3 star
Tyler Simmons FR 6-0 206lbs High 3/4 star
Shakenneth Williams JR 6-1 208LBS 4star
Javon Wims JR 6-4 215lbs 4tar
Shaquery Wilson 6-1 211lbs 3star


Going over who we currently use on the field.

Terry Godwin
Isaiah Mckenzie
Michael Chigbu
Jayson Stanley
Javon Wims
Reggie Davis

Isaiah Mckenzie- Very explosive, Creates Separation, takes 5 yard outs and turns them into scores. Weaknesses - Very small for a receiver and sometimes has hands of stone.
21 catches 318yards and 4 TDs

Terry Godwin - Has shown the ability to look explosive at times but seems to disappear in games. Also doesn't seem to like contact. He is also smaller in stature with a thin frame.
12 catches 163yds and no TDs

Michael Chigbu - Doesn't seem to create separation. When he does get open he's had major issues with dropped passes
7 catches 68yds and no TDs

Javon Wims - I seen him get a good block in the first game. Haven't heard of him much since.
1 Catch this season.

Jayson Stanely - Dropped some tough catches but also has the create separation and get open issue.
0 catches

Reggie Davis - Pretty sure all he does is go routes and when he does get a step our QB overthrows him.
4 catches


I would include the TEs but our leading tightend is Freshman Issac Nauta who has 4 catches for 32 yards on the season and seems to get blanketed quite easily by linebackers. Our Tight Ends in this offense have been equally disappointing.


Thoughts? Is it coaching or is it lack of talent? Did we miss bad with the group in recruiting?

Good thread... Add that Godwin doesn't run good routes and Woerner was recruited as a WR technically.

Believe it or not I think it is 40% nerves, 20% talent, 20% speed, 10% intangibles, 10% QB touch in this game.

We need to recruit WR like we do RBs. Stack them high and deep. It really hurt us when we lost Robinson to the west coast. We need big time recruits that can take pressure off the other skill players.

Also lets not take anything away from OM's "D". They got physical with our receivers, which is something I wish we saw more of out of our "D".

All of the above imo.

They're playing below their talent level right now (coaching), but we also need to get more talent there.

Coaching is always an issue whether related to recruiting or performance on the field. However, no receiver below 6' tall should be rated as a 4 star much less a 5 star unless they just have superior athletic ability. McKenzie might fall into that later category but the guy is just too small at 5-8 and doesn't catch the ball with his hands/poor technique.

But not matter how you spin it/rationalize, this ground has not been getting done on the field both in terms of creating separation and reliable catching.

Bottom line: taller, more athletic receivers is definitely part of the solution to UGA's offensive problems.

A lot of our problems are the same Bobo/Shottenheimer syndrome. Pass on obvious passing downs. 3rd and long over and over.
I challenge any db or linebacker to cover a quick out by a TE or slot receiver and we just refuse to do it.
