[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's classmate was recruited for a sport and just found out he is deferred. How can that happen? Seems like the school should have told him and the family that it was not looking good.[/quote]

D3? That's terrible. The coach should have given him some indication this was coming. [/quote]

Yes, D3. Kid had no idea. [/quote]

That is unacceptable poor communication.  Why did the coach and admissions department indicate the student would be admitted?[/quote]

This happens all the time.  If a more talented "likely admit" becomes available, less talented athletes are pushed down the recruiting ladder.  Coaches are granted a finite number of admits.  My DD was recruited for two years and then suddenly the coach went cold on her as he had a more talented cadre of gymnasts available  and interested in his program.[/quote]

Ok fine...but was DD told she was a recruit and then not admitted or was she told that the coach had decided on a different recruit?  The first is the coach not bring honest for some reason and is bizarre.  Why would any coach lie about that?[/quote]

Because she was a recruit right up until a better option came along. College athletics is about as cold as you get. Coaches have to win to stay employed and they are willing to screw over potential recruits to do it. [/quote]
