Your daughter’s friend is likely being recruited, and has probably provided a transcript, scores etc for a pre-read from admissions so that she may be considered by the coach.

IF she has not been cleared by admissions regardless if the coach says she will get in–that is dicey…
Admissions admits. Period.

Colleges do not accept athletes without academics. Especially with NCAA sports, the student must clear a minimum (albeit very low) standard with the Clearinghouse…besides admissions of the college. That NCAA application has to be done and the highschool has to send the student’s transcript at the end of senior year.

Sometimes kids hear what they want to hear and assume they are in–when in fact it means the coach likes them (as well as many other athletes) yet they do not have an admissions offer.
