does MAPS involve an enlistment obligation for non-service members? No. The first service obligation for those at West Point normally doesn't begin until one starts junior year. There are a number of former PL football players, btw, who did a year at MAPS or NAPS. College coaches can recruit MAPS/NAPS athletes the same way they recruit anyone at any prep school. HC had a basketball player, Pat Elzie, who matriculated at Naval Prep.

interesting factoid regarding West Point recruiting (actually, it generally reflects the talent level for West Point football IMHO): “What non-service academy schools are Army recruits receiving offers from the most? The answer may be surprising. Kent State has offered 65 of the 2023 recruits that Army has followed by Akron (55), Central Michigan (51), Bowling Green (50) and Miami, Ohio (50). All Mid-American schools.” blackknightnation.com/inside-the-numbers-army-2023-recruiting/

Would be curious about the same data for Navy and Air Force. Same article, note this is May of last year. “Army has offered 605 members of the 2023 class as of Thursday afternoon. Air Force has offered 298 of those same recruits (49.3 percent) while Navy has offered 247 (40.8 percent). All three academies have offered 145 of the 605 players (24 percent)”
