They practice the same, play in the same games, have the same level of commitment which often precludes participation in other activities due to the commitment (time and conflicts).

As I said in my PM, recruited athletes are a different breed. So if your question ultimately is “Will the Kid that works as hard as a recruited athlete and has similar stats be perceived the same by an AO as a kid they are recruiting?” then the answer is no.

The recruited athlete is competing for a specific slot based on sex/sport position. The hard-working varsity athlete is competing as a part of the general pool with the other non-recruits. Is is “fair”? Maybe not. But then life’s not fair.
