I think academy recruiting would get considerably better. They won't compete with the top ten schools, but they would get better depth. And they needn't get top recruits at every position. A few key "speed" and "catch & throw" recruits would make all of the schools more of a threat.
With the number of high quality quarterbacks and receivers coming out of high schools these days I should think a few would be interested of a shot at the NFL, and if not that a guaranteed job and great education.

are a little more intense (and less negotiable) than almost every other division I college. I suspect that the recruits the academies get will not change much because of this. That commitment takes a special kind of kid, regardless of access to the NFL, and I would have to guess the amount of college age football stars willing to risk an 8 year obligation betting on their NFL future is small.

I'm guessing this policy change has little noticable impact on USNA's recruiting moving forward.
