Army does not offer scholarships there student athletes go through a whole different process. They or appointed to the academy as are all in coming cadets ! so using Army wouldn't be a good example !! |

The service academies do selective recruiting based on prospects who can actually get in and fit the officer profile. There's no way they could be competitive if they didn't recruit.

He didn't say they don't recruit! Maybe the Army doesn't...which explains why they've been getting drug for the last decade... All the service academies have ways to expedite the appointment process. That's how the game works. Sent from my LGLS991 using proboards |

That's how the game works. Sent from my LGLS991 using proboards I would have to disagree this selection process is entirely different when it comes to recruiting service academy athlete. I was fortunate enough to be assigned to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, I have pictures of David Robinson when he was a freshman plebe Napoleon McCallum, Leo Williams and Eddie Robinson or good friend of mine and they were held to the same standards on admission as all of the other plebe were. what separates the service academies in their recruiting is their ability to find athletes that fit there systems . But to compare their recruiting practices in football or any other sport to regular institutions is entirely on fair. because they are held to a much higher standard and also after their sophomore year If found wanting in the classroom and flunk out of school they would have to serve 3 years of active duty I don't think you will find that in other institutions! |

First, I respect your service. I'm a ROTC grad, and I served with quite a few Academy grads along the way, including football players. So I'm not just talking off the cuff. Like I said before, anybody who gets an appointment has to meet the standards/officer profile and get the congressional recommendation. But they do recruit... and pretty aggressively. They have to because of the high standards. This was a good article on what it looks like today: www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/5/21/5736040/college-football-military-service-academiesSo... if they find a target recruit who meets the standards... their process will get expedited so they won't get hung out to dry, particularly since some may have offers from other schools also in the balance. They'd be crazy not to. |

Lol the do recruit ,no one said that they didn't its just the overall process is a lot more strenuous and lengthy then the average student athletes that attend a non service academy institution, so yes we are saying the same thing but from a different angle! |

They'd be crazy not to. It's also an advantage that Air Force and Navy have had coaches go on to P5 schools. I do also know that all the service academies recruit Atlanta, Houston, Dallas and Los Angeles very aggressively. Many more players are meeting their profiles than ever before due to these kids getting SAT prep more than ever before. |

According to the University Calendar, football recruits are taking official visits today. If you see any at the game, let us know.
