Did you contact the coach via the recruiting questionnaire? Good first step. If you haven’t I would do it immediately.

I think the fly in in a good sign too! I think you have a good shot although your UW GPA may be on the low side without scores. I would reach out to the coach if you will be well enough to throw in college and want to do so. He probably would not use a recruiting slot for you at this point but could confirm that this is another way you could contribute to the community.

Good luck!

I agree with the above. You seem like a pretty solid candidate. Good Luck!
