(2027) WR Monshun Sales to INDIANA

[cthomas]

Bottom line on all of this is to let Cignetti run the program. IU played against, and won against, teams with superior rosters on paper. We have already seen an influx of better talent entering into year 3. I'm perfectly content to let Coach Cig work his magic with what he has at his disposal.

I'd say most everyone trusts him with the keys to the team and are optimistic about what he and the staff can do with the roster

However, in the off-season, we have nothing better to do than over-analyze from the couch.

Yep.  And to add to that: for the first time in my life… we’re what everyone is chasing.  I don’t care if some school has a higher rated high school class than us… did they just go 16-0?

And we can’t discount our big portal haul that’s technically very highly ranked.

To be clear, I think analyzing the program is perfectly fine and interesting.  I just can’t see much reason to get overly concerned about stuff like high school recruiting rankings.

Curt Cignetti could quite literally show up to Memorial Stadium with a team full of Kroger employees who push shopping carts all day and I'd like our chances against most schools.

There’s a difference between a 4* OL and the top WR in the country. And you also have to consider what landing Sales would do for the program. We become a legitimate destination for these prospects moving forward and maybe even flip a few commitments.

We’re already a legitimate destination as we just won the national championship. And I think our transfer portal haul shows that.

Just because we aren’t willing to pay up for freshmen doesn’t mean kids wouldn’t be willing to come here if we did.

Me too but not about recruiting.  I need the season to start.  
 

Can’t wait till Notre Dame embarrasses themselves and all ND can do is beat about being the last team to beat us

Wilfong from rivals pretty much says that Sales is down to IU or Texas.

Will he go for the bigger money and Sark, who has put many wrs in the NFL, or IU, where he will guarantee development, stay close to home, and can step into Becker's role as a freshman if all goes well.

Kid seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders and understands the importance of development for his draft stock.  
 

I don’t care what snake oil Sark is selling him but this time next year it’s likely we have 3 first round WRs in the last 2 years.

And when Sark fails to produce a Natty with very expensive rosters, he may not be there for Sales college career anyway.

I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere else.  But would be cool. That said if we don’t get sales now who knows after the kid realizes sarks is running his career into the ground.

Yes, I have seen today mentioned a few times in the last week, but I don't think there is any expectation that will happen. Probably looking at next week at this point.

Maybe, but McAfee gets a ton of commitment announcements on his show and it wasn’t that long ago that Julian Lewis committed to not us on there.
