No question about additional recs after deferral in an ED round or a waitlist. In fact, if no further interest is shown, I think you could pretty much guaranty that nothing positive will happen. I was speaking only in terms of regular applicants. And even there, if the additional rec can help the reader see the applicant from a different perspective than why not include it. Just don’t need another one that says “Johnny is a great student and also shows great leadership as Captain of the _____ team.”
