Offers be damned. This kid has that it factor. He's got heart & he's worth a flyer. Especially being as we have a depth problem. I pray we can get him back in the fold. Hope we didn't burn that bridge.

Same here. If he can play in this system effectively then who cares how many offers or stars he has ? We need football players with a high dog factor, not divas.

Agree. If he were in South Florida and had those numbers people would be up in arms wondering why he havent offered.

Bama hasnt offered any DB we have committed or that we are presently in serious consideration for. Guess we should drop the whole DB class then.

EDIT: Deejay was offered by Bama. Not sure if it was at DB though. Gibson is offered at Safety.

Point is, Roberts deserves a second look if we are at the point of looking on the clearance rack. He is a HIGH LEVEL Plan B option.

The side note is we actually have a little pipeline from that school in Jax...I believe he is worth an offer regardless....but I'm sure the coach there will be on our side the next time a Shaq or D. Owens comes down the pipe. The game within the game.
 
I think he is a take especially if we do not get Henderson back. He would have to be an upgrade over the guys who have been here that can't start over freshman Young. I guess there is little to no chance?

Hes 5'11..hes 185lbs..he ran a 4.5 at every camp he went too..he strong as **** for his size from all reports from Shap Pops...he has 6 interceptions this season and 3 returned for TDs...Again..if this kid played for Carol City, Booker T, St Thomas, or Miami Central and we didnt offer him this board would be calling for Mike Rumphs head. (notice I said MRumph..nobody blames anything on Richt on this board concerning DB recruiting for some reason)

But he doesn't. If he did what he does at one of those schools that might put him in a higher league. Is it possible that he's not quit 5' 11"? I was under the impression that he was more like 5' 9". Whatever the case, the staff doesn't want him (for now), maybe they know their business.

So now we are going back to the size argument? After we spent the last 3 years trying to move away from the fact that size doesnt matter if you can ball?

I will defer to Shaq pops regarding his actual height as I am sure he will jump in this thread soon as he is a big advocate of Roberts and his talent.

But hey, why would we need him...we are good to go at CB, right? Nothing to see here. Lets move on to the next position. Not like we are so depleted at CB that we might actually have Ryan Mayes as a starter next year. Esp if they move Redwine to Safety which they should.
