Your wrong every coach has what they call slots. Able to get a lacrosse player in that would not be able without lacrosse.
But probably not as many slots as he has the number of kids he has told verbally " with your grades, and with our support, I don't see any reason your acceptance won't be a problem. But I can't emphasize enough that you'll really need to keep your grades up and get the numbers you've been scoring on practice ACTs when it is an official test. I'm looking forward to having you at Princeton, now go work on those grades".
And even the kid who was going to take one of the "slots" still needs the coach to make the case......the new coach may not work as hard as he should trying to sway admissions that the kid can cut the grade if admitted.
My guess is the HS 2016s are fine, all other agreements are open to revision.
