Seemingly every Pac-10 football program has offered Jemari Roberts a scholarship, and with good reason, considering the junior receiver from Long Beach Wilson continues to emerge as one of the top recruits on the West Coast. However, there’s two schools, from the Southland, no less, missing from the list of potential suitors.

UCLA and USC failed to jump on the Roberts bandwagon when it began to roll. According to these quotes, interest from the Bruins has picked up recently. As for the Trojans... Well, they joined the recruiting process a bit late, too. Both schools continue to be in contact, but nothing official has been presented to Roberts.

Cal, Oregon and Oregon St. have been waiting for a commitment for a while now, along with Stanford and Washington St. Another team hoping for a verbal is Colorado. Should mention that Notre Dame is in the mix, as well. Could UCLA or USC be next? Only time will tell. One thing is certain: Roberts won’t be able to make a decision without an offer.
