Sarkisian less than enthusiastic about Locker going pro

Reporters talked with Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian this week about the possibility of junior quarterback Jake Locker going pro after this season.

Sarkisian, in his first year as Huskies head coach, said he would give Locker information, but not advice.

"We'll assess it after the year," Sarkisian told reporters. "I think Jake is a bright young man who is patient, he's got two tremendous parents that have raised him extremely well, and we'll get all the proper information in place and he'll make a really good decision in what's best for he and his family, and not just the immediate, but for his future as well."

Reading Sarkisian's quotes, he's clearly not too enthused about the likelihood of Locker going pro. Considered a potential top 10 pick, Locker's play this season has been good but not extraordinary.

Sure, Washington doesn't have a lot of talent, but Locker isn't completing 60 percent of his passes and has 10 interceptions. Over Washington's last five games, Locker has thrown seven interceptions

"Yeah, sure, he's ready," Sarkisian said about Locker's pro prospects. "Everybody is ready to some degree."

What's with USC(/former) coaches and not wanting their QB's to leave?

Locker’s a whole lot more ready than Sanchez too.

Who would want their QBs to leave?

A coach with some common sense....

not a self serving A-Hole who doesn’t wanna see his players succeed. Sam Bradford’s gonna miss out on a bout $20 million guaranteed dough.

If Locker’s a top 5 pick, he should go and his coach should agree with the decision. Its his job to have a replacement anyway.

He fails as a coach if he says ’he’s not ready to be a top 5 pick’. You don’t tell your player “you don’t want them to leave”.

He has the talent if he’s drafted top 5. Its up to the team that drafts him after that.

Yea, because when I say I’m not sold on Lcoker then it defineatly means I think he should go 2 rounds lower than most people think
