2027 IN WR Monshun Sales (Verbal Offer)

[jwinslow]

Even if Hartline was still at OSU I don’t think they’d try and match IU. I don’t see OSU offering big deals to 2 5star WRs unless one is willing to take quite the discount. Jamier Brown was the top target, he already committed and shut it down. Land Blake Wong, and Then after that I have no clue since Hankton has a different list than Hartline did. Benny Easter is another name to pack away but he’s committed to Texas Tech right now, but OSU seems to be pursuing hard and he’s visiting in a month

Jett arrives after this class...

Meanwhile they are deciding whether or not to go get another quarterback. Which will be the opposite of affordable.

Monshun commands a high price. Nothing wrong with that.

Other schools are not on osu's level. He's one of four top end receivers in a 3-year span. That number may be more like six plus. He should absolutely benefit from that urgency for other schools to start acquiring their first receiver like that.

That if Indiana can maintain consistency this upcoming season, that would be a very compelling pitch beyond earnings.

Ohio State won’t give up its efforts to steal a 5-star WR from Curt Cignetti

Cortez Hankton paid Monshun Sales a visit just days after the No. 1 WR in the country was predicted to commit to Indiana.

Ohio State won’t give up its efforts to steal a 5-star WR from Curt Cignetti​

This is a big one for Cortez Hankton.

During Brian Hartline’s eight years as Ohio State’s wide receiver coach, the Buckeyes landing one of the top wide receivers, if not the No. 1 overall receiver in the country, almost seemed pre-ordained. Hartline is one of the best recruiters in the country, and his track record for developing WR talent is virtually unblemished, but he’s taken those talents to USF.

Ohio State has replaced Hartline with Cortez Hankton, a former Georgia and LSU wide receivers coach. Now, it’s Hankton who is tasked with leading the Buckeyes’ pursuit of the top wideout in the 2027 class, Monshun Sales, and he has an uphill battle to pull it off.

Sales, who grew up in Alabama and played his high school football at Lawrence North High School in Indiana, has been predicted to commit to Curt Cignetti’s reigning national champion Indiana Hoosiers. Hankton is looking to change his mind, and Mick Walker of Letterman Row has reported that those efforts included a trip to Indianapolis to visit the No. 7 overall recruit in the country.

Cortez Hankton could use a win like Sales​

Ohio State was able to hold onto Jeremiah Smith, Quincy Porter Jr., and 2026 five-star Chris Henry Jr. after Hartline left to become a first-time head coach. And in the 2027 class, Ohio State already has a commitment from the No. 4 WR in the country, Jamier Brown. So, while Sales would be a massive addition, the Buckeyes aren’t desperate at the wide receiver position. Hankton, though, could use a win like this to boost his stock with the program, along with keeping him out of Cignetti’s hands.

Alabama seems to still be in the mix, but Sales’ recruitment has quickly become the top story on the recruiting trail in the Big Ten, especially with the quarterback movement seemingly settled.
