Would be fun to get him, but I’m not sensing it’s likely, of course maybe I’m wrong.
Bama is becoming a risky place though, including some iffy WR development.
With absolutely zero information, its felt like Bama is/was the place hes wanted to go....however, Indiana never losing keeps pulling him back in. The more he keeps visiting, the stronger the relationships become, and it could prpve vital if Bama decides to turn over their staff after next season.
Do we really want a 5*? LOL.
I know Sales mother is pushing some for him to stay close to home. I know many say it’s an IU vs. Bama battle.
I know your kidding but still, yes. Only if they have the mentality and work ethic that Coach Cig likes though. If Sales is a "Never given, always earned" type of guy then sign him up. I'd imagine he is or Coach and staff would have moved on from him.Do we really want a 5*? LOL.
The longer the Sales recruitment is open, the better for Indiana like a pro poker player having more information on their table opponents.
If in late Nov '26 it looks like Marsh and Becker are going to the NFL and the team is not feeling great about three or four '27 returners being starter quality and you don't have great '27 portal transfers at WR on the hook, then handing out 5 star freshman starter big time money to Sales makes plenty of sense.
Making inroads in Chicago.

Kid is being recruited by some of the best schools in the nation, and we've got a legit shot here....
We've never been hotter on the trail. I've never been more certain that this will be the best class we've ever had.
@boogie coming off a NC, I would hope so! Out of curiousity, what is the highest ranked class IU has ever had? Top 30 ever?
The '26 high school class is #29 on 24/7.
I clicked thru about six years of 247 rankings and we had 2014 and 2015 (or two years about then) at 48th, and the 2019 class at 37th. I didn't check more recent dates. But, we also know that if a Cig class was ranked 40, and Wilson ranked 40 and Allen class ranked 40, the Cig class would be far stronger.
Love the areas Cig decided to focus on. Get those Chicago region kids coming down the highway. Get our state, and that four hour radius. Then some from wherever.
It’s going to be an uphill battle after reading this. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/there-is-a-new-priority-recruit-to-know-for-notre-dame-football-and-the-fighting-irish-have-the-inside-track-for-several-reasons/ar-AA1VZin9

As it stands today, we're 100% in his lead group, which is where you want to be going into the spring and summer months.

Unless he is simply not interested in five and high ranked four stars there is really no reason we should not get a top 10 class after winning the title.
