Washington's Talent

He was out with an injury last year.

Still to go winless in the Soft-10

dont knock them too much...if it wasn't for portland state and a locker-less UW team, the pac 10 would have had 2 winless teams.

A # of JC players were brought in this year to help. Ty in his last year had a top 15 recruiting class. JC players are a quick fix. They needed help at OL, DL, WR and DB. A JC punter was also brought in. FYI.

he has the chance to be a very good qb

Inside 10 yards Locker is accurate, beyond 10 and the balls tend to miss the target. He has to work on that one this year.

actually Locker injured his hamstring in Fall camp last year, so he was significantly slower and a bit out of shape by the time the season started and then wonderful willingham made that call in 2nd quarter of the stanfurd game where Jake is required to be the lead blocker and whammo! jake shattered his thumb, and i believe it required something in the range of about 25 pins to hold it together. it was nasty from what the news reports were.

Not really. Most didn't qualify. Harder to get a JC transfer into UW than Stanford, Cal, SC, or UCLA. UW doesn't have a PE degree and therefore a lot of classes don't transfer over.

So JC/CC players Will Mahan, David Batts, Dorson Boyce, Daniel Mafoe and Dominique Gaisie didn't make it in?

Gaise - NO.

"It doesn't look like he's going to make it,'' UW coach Steve Sarkisian said after practice. "At this point I would be very shocked if it did happen.'' Sarkisian said official word may have come during practice that Gaisie, a transfer from Mt. SAC JC in the southern California area, wouldn't make it in.

"It's unfortunate,'' Sarkisian said. "He's a great player and if it doesn't happen we wish him the best of luck. He's a very good kid.''

Gaisie participated in UW's first practice Monday before it was learned that the NCAA Clearinghouse was reviewing his transcripts. Sarkisian said he didn't know the specifics of it to know if there was a chance that Gaisie could return at a later date but he seemed to indicate it won't happen.

On another note it looks like Dominique Gaisie isn't getting in and it is a UW decision rather han a clearing house decision. Word is he is likely headed for BYU and he could have gotten in anywhere in the Pac Ten except Washington.

Mafoe - NO.

One intrepid commenter passed along the news that Daniel Mafoe, a JC OL who did not get into UW, will play this season at West Texas A&M. Same reader also noted that Dominique Gaisie is no longer on the roster at Central Washington. Not sure why.
