It's very, very difficult for a foreigner to attend a U.S. military academy. It takes special exceptions for special reasons. So, it's probably not worth it for coaches to even attempt to go through the process no matter how good the player is, especially since there's no guarantees it will happen.
"The US military academies also have foreign soldiers that commission into their own countries’ militaries, rather than the US military. The US Military Academy at West Point has 60 foreign cadets at any time."
"Up to 60 international cadets may study at West Point at any given time. Eligible countries are selected on an annual basis by the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Department of Defense. The American embassies notify invited nations to nominate up to six candidates per country to compete for admission to West Point."
"Per Title 10 of the United States Code, the maximum number of international students at the United States Air Force Academy at any one time is 60. We admit approximately 15 international students each year. International applicants must meet the same admissions requirements as all regular applicants, however, there are differences in the application process."
"To apply for a nomination, write your country’s government. Your letter should contain complete details about your background and your potential for success at the Academy. It should be received at least one year prior to the date of admission. The Defense Attaché Office at the American Embassy can direct you to the correct ministry in your country. DO NOT apply directly to the Air Force Academy or other United States government officials."
In other words, no coach is going to bother trying to recruit a foreign player...
