I seem to remember that the Admissions Office needs to 'bless' the union by laying their hands on, and reviewing all of the academic records. As much as we'd like to think they fast track athletes, sometimes I'm not too sure they go to the front of the line. I also remember that some schools will not send them electronically, or that they have to be mailed directly from one admissions office to another. A few extra days of hand wringing seems to be the norm with late qualifiers.
If this kid commits, does that end the cycle for this year? Or could we still lose someone and have another possible late addition?
