Hi guys,
Just wondering, I've been in touch with a coach, and he said that if I got deferred ED, he would potentially consider me for a spot in RD. I emailed him after hearing about my decision however have not heard anything back... Was wondering if it is too late to still be considered for his backing as the application deadline has passed or whether there is still hope?
Thanks

Coach had X "tips" in the early round and X-1 or X-2 got admitted. Coach said out of a pool of 4-5 deferred recruits, maybe one or two would get an advantage in the regular round
Some people would advise to keep contacting the coach until you get a response, because what do you have to lose. I am not in that camp because I think it is always a positive thing to show maturity, respect and patience.
That being said, with your last contact three weeks ago, I think it would be entirely proper to follow up with a text or call. My suggestion is that the contact should be couched primarily in terms of your top choice interest in his school and program, and secondarily about whether he will support you.
In the final analysis, nothing is assured until RD announcement day, whether the coach responds or not. Either way you will have to abide the process.
