Jason Munns – most important recruit since Bledsoe?

I don’t have premium access, but I am going to see if I can get a copy of a new story posted overnight that states that Jason Munns, the monster QB from Kennewick, has the Cougs as a slight leader in recruiting!

This has Bledsoe written all over it. The kid is the real deal from everyone who has ever seen him, and while I’ve only seen quick clips on the news, he certainly looks the part. He’s been hyped for a couple of years now as the next Bledsoe, and he has a love for the Cougs. Check out this quote:

“It’s (WSU) like the hometown team and a lot of kids from my high school go there. Everyone around here loves them. They have good tradition and the team is on the rise.”

Oh yeah, he’s 6.5 1/2, 225, runs a 4.9 and has a 3.8 GPA. The schools he’s looking at, include WSU (the only school with “high interest), ASU, BYU, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, USC, and UW.

At the time Bledsoe signed, it was a huge shock because he was a 4-star, all-everything can’t miss kid that people said would be starting in the NFL, and sure enough, it came true. He was the greatest Mike Price recruit ever, highest profile. Leaf was highly-rated, and actually picked WSU over Miami, but was like 10th or so nationally. Bledsoe was in the top 3 or 4 in the nation. And this can easily now be ranked as the highest profile recruit Bill Doba and company have ever pursued. We know how recruiting can be, kids change their minds like they change underwear, but news like this is HUGE – and I mean HUGE – news early. Many “insiders” were speculating that he was going to UW or USC, period, that it was a done deal those are his finalists, but now this news.

Keep your fingers crossed, and it’ll be a Stewart-like saga most likely, but let’s hope they land the big fish!
