Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Sales has set a commitment date for July 17th. Sales is still considering Ohio State, Indiana, Texas, Alabama, and LSU. It does seem like the decision is coming down to the Buckeyes and the Hoosiers. Ohio State was initially the favorite to win the services for Sales, but that has flipped to the Hoosiers.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Ohio State is out of the fight to get him. Cortez Hankton has worked very hard to establish a firmer relationship with him since he took the job in Columbus. It looks like he has a real shot to get him to join Jamier Brown as the other five-star recruit in this class.
Losing Sales to IU would certainly hurt. They are the defending national champions, and they are starting to turn into a real problem on the recruiting trail. Sales is an Indiana kid, so taking him out of the state is not something that is going to be easy to do.
Ohio State still has a chance to have an all-time July
There are three different recruits who have now set commitment dates for the month of July. Both Sales and Gabriel Georges have set commitment dates for this month. Four-star defensive lineman Karlos May has also set a commitment date for later this month.If Ohio State is able to somehow land all three recruits, that would help the Buckeyes have a shot to end up with a top-three class. Ryan Day and his staff feel confident that they can, but Sales is the one they feel the least confident in. Ohio State is still going to feel great if they get the two other recruits.
