Indiana has been able to dominate the transfer portal over the last few seasons, with Cignetti plucking “his guys.” The Hoosiers haven’t been known to recruit high schoolers at a high clip and have instead won with underrated portal acquisitions. On Friday, live on the Pat McAfee Show, five-star wide receiver Monshun Sales did what many thought to be impossible a few short seasons ago: he committed to the Indiana Hoosiers.<\/p>\n
With how Cignetti has succeeded with overlooked and Group of 6 players, this truly feels like a “Happy learned to putt” moment.<\/p>\n
Sales, the 247Sports Composite<\/em>‘s eighth-best player and second-best wide receiver, picked the Hoosiers over recruiting heavyweights, Texas<\/a>, Alabama<\/a>, LSU<\/a>, and Ohio State<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hailing from Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, Sales had his pick of the litter. Before, the top players in Indiana would leave for the larger, Blueblood programs. Sales bucked that trend by staying home.<\/p>\n Measuring at six-foot-five and 195 pounds, Sales is an athletic freak of nature and a matchup nightmare anywhere on the field. He’s an elite “X” receiver who can take the top off defenses and can turn 50\/50 balls into 90\/10 in his favor.<\/p>\n He was a state qualifier in the 100-meter, 200-meter, and long jump as a sophomore in 2024. He finished second in the 200 and won state as part of a 4×100 relay. Sales has great acceleration and has incredible body control to go up and snag passes that would otherwise be outside his catch radius.<\/p>\n As a sophomore, he turned 34 receptions into 568 yards (16.7 yards per catch) and seven touchdowns. Last year, he was unstoppable. Sales finished with 794 yards and nine touchdowns on 37 receptions (21.5 yards per catch).<\/p>\n Indiana has its Chris Henry Jr.<\/p>\n A lot is going to change over the next six months. However, if things stay as they are, and Indiana retains its wide receiver room plus its other commits, this is what the unit looks like in August 2027:<\/p>\nMonshun Sales Commits to Indiana<\/h2>\n
