Football: Logan QB Manning gets official offer from USU
Logan High quarterback Jeff Manning received his first Division I offer on Wednesday night -- from Utah State.
Then he went out and celebrated with perhaps the best performance of his prep career, completing 21 of 24 passes for 325 yards and six touchdowns in a 59-0 rout of Grantsville.
According to the Logan Herald Journal, Manning was 15-for-16 in the first half for 256 yards and five TDs. He now has thrown for 21 TDs, rushed for six TDs and thrown for 1,589 yards.
A source close to Manning said although the Aggies are the only school yet to offer the 6-foot-4, 185-pound quarterback, several schools continue to monitor his progress and express interest, including Oregon, Utah, Arizona State, Colorado State and BYU.
Manning has said he will go on an LDS Church mission when he graduates from Logan and before he enrolls at any college.
-------------------
Speaking of quarterbacks, one of the best QBs in the West, 6-foot-4 Josh Nunes of Upland, Calif., recently withdrew his commitment from Tennessee and committed to Stanford.
Nunes' decision has local implications because Stanford already has a commitment from Taysom Hill, the quarterback from Pocatello, Idaho (Highland High) who had an offer from BYU before he committed to the Cardinal.
However, Nunes' commitment may not effect Hill that much because Hill will also go on a church mission when he graduates from high school. He turns 19 in August, 2009. After a two-year mission and a redshirt year, he could be a freshman when Nunes is a senior.

Interesting column in the Honolulu Advertiser today by Ferd Lewis suggesting that BYU playing Hawaii in 2012 and 2013 could help the Cougars land all-everything linebacker Manti Te'o.

If this recruiting blog is strictly about BYU, then why not put it in the BYU section? Try providing a little balanced coverage there Jay.
Sorry matthew...Bad news. Utah is not recruiting as well as BYU. Bye Bye.
Hey Matty, Jay is just giving the people what they want: All BYU all the time.
You and your Ute buddies should just stick to the Daily Chronicle.
Spencer and Steph, and Adam are idiots. The reason there is so much news on BYU is because they have a smaller pool of guys they can recruit due to wanting LDS only recruits. Recruiting is a year long process, but really there won't be a ton of news until the end of the highschool season nears.
Also T'eo is a big recruit, thus the weekly updates on the kid.
Matthew, in all fairness, Lya Wooldstra7s>ka is SUPPOSED to cover Ute recruiting. Jay Drew covers all things BYU as Lya covers all things Utah. Please stop trying to make us as fans look stupid. Get after Lya if you don't like the Utah recruiting coverage, or join an online recruiting site.
