Once you have coach’s support, the student athlete is looking for singles and walks, not home runs, in the essays.
If an injury happens to occur between the commitment and the acceptance, I would be maybe a little slow to report to the coach. Once the application goes in with coach’s support, that will count as one of their limited number of supports. Pulling that support probably wouldn’t get the coach an extra recruit. Its not in the (D3) college’s overall best interest to play like that. Still, I would slow-walk an injury discussion at this point.
