Not from Wake, but may be able to shed some light anyway?
It may be because of the deferred recruitment--when PNMs have ALL SEMESTER to listen to tent talk / get to know girls / idolize the "top tier" groups, getting cut hurts a lot more, because you can't chalk it up to only having a 10-minute conversation.
It does surprise me that they're so open about it, but good for them I guess. My (admittedly limited) experience with deferred recruitment is that rec letters matter less because fall term acts as a rec.
