Process for recruited athletes

No, it doesn’t sound bad. You are asking logical questions. When our son went to MOC interview, there was another candidate that was a recruited athlete. He sat in the lobby telling the other candidates that he had already signed a letter of intent to play for Navy. We wondered how that would work into the equation, just as you are asking. We knew that the MOC had two vacancies to fill. When my son got an appointment along with the athlete, we assumed it filled the two vacancies. Fast forward 5 or 6 months to the Congressman’s Appointee reception. There were three appointees there for USNA. The athlete was appointed from the national pool. These things seem to work out. Keep the faith. Good luck to your son.
