I know what I am about to say will be slammed and shot at!

however the USNA has proven that they recruited a cadet for football, which I whole heartedly disagree with this cadet was the anchor and now is playing for the PATS…



Can’t dissapoint you. Way way too much ado has been made about this single instance. We do not know the whole story here and are only speculating. The admissions department makes mistakes. They take calculated risks. Character is the most difficult trait to evaluate, almost impossible. They only had his junior year math and English teachers recommendations as input. So they picked one person who perhaps did not live up to what was expected. I can parade you a long list of many more with a less lofty profile. Let it go.
