How much does athlete recruitment "actually" help?

A very valid point. I’m very sure I’m not in one of his “spots”, he’d rather have them for applicants who are beter than me at his sport and are worse than me academically. And I think it’s fair too, weaker students would need more hlp getting admitted. Plus, the coach would want the best to come in, after all, he wants his sport to gain at the end of the day.

But if I am a straight A student, I guess even a letter of recommendation to admissions would help (which is sent for all recruited athletes, not just for the ones on “spots”) me show that I’m good at my sport. Well ofcourse, the applicants on the spots will have the pleasure of the coach hovering over the admissions officer’s back while he’s making decisions.
