Miami continues to be a serious contender for the commitment of five-star wide receiver Monshun Sales. The Hurricanes have made significant progress in the recruitment of the blue-chip prospect from Indianapolis, with analyst Steve Wiltfong of On3/Rivals saying Miami is the school he's "most worried about" for Alabama in this recruitment.
