Indiana has landed a commitment from in-state class of 2027 5-star wide receiver Monshun Sales.
He announced the decision live Friday afternoon on the Pat McAfee Show.
“Indiana was my second offer and since then they’ve just been pouring into me,” Sales said. “I go up there a lot and talk with coach Shanny (offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan), coach Eddie (offensive assistant Eddie Burk), and coach Cig (Curt Cignetti). They’re my guys. With IU I had the best relationship with the coaches. It just feels like home since day one, and I’m just ready to work.”
Sales talked about his conversations with Cignetti.
“Coach Cig is a straight up guy. He’s just going to keep it real with you. He’s not going to tell you what you want to hear. It just kind of clicked instantly. I don’t want someone who is going to tell me what I want to hear and give me bullshit. I want to work for everything.”
On his show based in Indiana, McAfee said he got chills when Sales announced for Indiana.
“What Curt Cignetti has been able to do down there has ignited a fan base,” McAfee said.
Sales becomes the first 5-star to commit to IU in the modern rankings era, and the highest-rated recruit in program history.
The 6-foot-5 Sales chose the Hoosiers over top competitors Texas, Ohio State, LSU, Alabama and Miami.
According to the industry averages, Sales is the No. 8 overall player in the class, and the No. 2 receiver. He’s the No. 1 overall receiver in the rising senior class at some outlets.
As a junior at Lawrence North H.S. in Indianapolis, Sales had 37 catches for 794 yards and 9 touchdowns on offense. He posted 56 tackles as a safety on defense.
