Fenwaysouth is absolutely right. Only the coach is going to know the answeres to your questions.

One of my sons was a recruited athlete. He was accepted to a D1 school where the coach was not the least bit interested in him. Never really understood that one because he is a swimmer and he would have been quite valuable in the lineup there. But the school was not a particularly strong swim school with a coach who was less than on the ball. He had tunnel vison just focused on his recruits and for whatever reason my son was not on his list and his radar was not so good.

He ended up at a D3 school with a coach that was on his case every minute, making sure that the app was processed and he was the first to know it. That it was D3 made no difference. This coach loved his team, his job and was on top of the process big time. No wonder the school was a top D3 school in the sport with the team getting times that most D1 schools don’t get.

The D1 coach did eventually get word that my son was accepted but he was way late and not on the ball. A shame because it was a contributing reason why he did not go to this very good school that accepted him for his academics. Clearly the coach did not have him down as a recruited athlete.

So it all depends on how on the ball the coach is and how the interactions are between admissions and the athletic dept right down to the individual coach. Your son needs to call the coach and let him know he is on board and what the story if with the team.
