His Rivals profile coming out of HS: http://rivals.yahoo....d-Roberts-80366

He played HS ball at Dunbar . . . that has to be a good sign for a RB, no?

To the best of my knowledge, Vernard Roberts does not have an offer from North Texas. Interest shown does not necessarily equate to an offer. It can mean that there has been contact by their school of interest but even that is not assured. Often, it is merely an invitation to their colleges of interest. Rivals does not show offers, likely because of their large database. Twenty-four Seven does but if you turn the page of reference you won't find any offers listed. Scout tries to but in Roberts case they had no notification of any interest, let alone an offer. The other source that attempts to track offers is ESPN but I do not recall any JUCOs on their list.

The article from 247 did not indicate any offers but there is some possible interest for Vernard (and his twin brother Vance) from Maryland.

I'm not sure I follow you. He shows an offer from UNT on his 24/7 page . . . I'm not sure what you mean by "turn the page of reference."

Do we need another running back?

If he's good enough to become our #1 back, I'd say yes.

What I should've said is click on show all interests near the upper right-hand corner. If the offer column has a yellow check mark by the university then that player has received an offer. If it is blank, there is no offer. In Roberts' case, there are no check marks in the offer column; meaning that he has received no offers from the seven on his interest list. Try others to see if any show offers.
