It is official visit season. While Monshun Sales is like many rising seniors across the country, he is also quite different... The superstar wide receiver from Indianapolis will be the crown jewel of any team's recruiting class that he chooses to be a part of. With his elite game, it will be up to him where he gets to spend the next three or four years after he finishes high school. What team wants him the most?

Check out Alabama tight end Marshall Pritchett doing everything in his power to get Sales to commit!

According to the 247Sports Composite, Sales is the No. 1 player from Indiana, the No. 1 wide receiver in the country, and the No. 7 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting cycle. So far, he has taken official visits to Indiana (April 24) and Alabama (May 29). Sales plans to visit Texas later this week on June 5, as well as checking out what the Ohio State Buckeyes are all about in his Columbus visit on June 12.

While Alabama should feel comfortable about its chances of landing him, On3 has other thoughts...

  • Indiana Hoosiers: 82.4 percent
  • Ohio State Buckeyes: 4.1 percent
  • Michigan Wolverines: 2.0 percent
  • Alabama Crimson Tide: 1.6 percent
  • Notre Dame Fighting Irish: 1.3 percent

Right now, Sales seems to be the most interested in Alabama, Indiana, Miami, Ohio State, and Texas...

5-star WR Monshun Sales feels one step closer to committing to Alabama

Pritchett and the rest of the Alabama program have already decided to pull on Sales' heartstrings. He might hail from another part of the country, one that has three Power Four teams inside its state's border, two of which are perennial College Football Playoff contenders. Although Indiana and Notre Dame have strong interest in landing the five-star wide receiver, perhaps Alabama is home for Sales?

Ahead of last weekend's visit to Tuscaloosa, Sales put out there on social media what his living room looks like. It looks like any fine man cave you would ever hope to find in Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, or Montgomery. He may be playing into Alabama's hands, but the Crimson Tide is the one program that we can trust will get the most out of his talent. Indiana never lands five-star players...

And that should matter a little bit, right? Indiana may be mavens in the transfer portal under Curt Cignetti, but IU is traditionally a basketball school. They are quite literally the new money in the sport of college football, along with Cody Campbell's oil magnate manner in Lubbock... At Alabama, Sales can look around the facility to see one former Crimson Tide star's likeness in an NFL uniform.

Overall, Sales is going to do one of three things, possibly a combination of all of them. He will either go where he feels the most wanted, where he believes he can be groomed into an NFL superstar, or where he believes will pay him the most. Alabama checks the first two boxes in triumphant and emphatic fashion. Alabama may not pay like other schools do, but it has a great reputation to uphold.

If Sales' heart is set on going to Alabama, he can make Kalen DeBoer's team's dreams all come true.
