I spoke with five-star WR Monshun Sales' mom this afternoon for a little bit.
First off, awesome lady. Looking forward to meeting her in person when they come down in June.
Here's some nuggets gathered:
-- She was not on the April visit to Austin, so when they OV campus next month that will be her first time at Texas
-- "I'm excited. I'm actually excited. I'm a southern girl. Either way, coming back south, to me, is everything anyway. He told me I would love it. He knows his momma. I'm trusting the process, and I'm actually excited to come see you all."
-- The family moved to Indiana from Alabama in 2020. Obviously his mom is a big Bama fan coming from Birmingham, but Sales is going to make his own decision.
-- Sales' mom isn't too familiar with Texas yet but she says she's going to study up on the program before traveling to Austin.
-- She reiterated how highly Sales has talked about Texas. "He did tell me (Texas) had a great program. He said I want to go to Texas. I want to go down there and give them a shot and see what they've got to say."
-- Sales' mom noted that they're may be some OV schedule shuffling. She mentioned possibly the Alabama date, currently set for May 29-31, being moved. Texas is likely to switch to June 19-21 (originally set for June 5-7) as we've been saying is possible with Miami fading in his recruitment. Stay tuned for some more finality to OV plans.
-- I asked her about the Indiana projection today. She laughed. She says she has to keep herself from commenting on every single development. But Indiana is absolutely a threat here, as we've noted.
