Ahahaha yeah that was wild! And by DS9’s time, it didn’t seem nearly as precious. Nog got into the academy just off Sisko’s recommendations and entry seemed so guaranteed, Jake treated it as a take-it-or-leave-it situation.
Doesn’t it imply Picard simply refused to vouch for Westley?
I think it’s funny that for all the hate Wesley got, the OG wonder-boy was Chekov. Then Wesley basically turned into Jake (but with magic powers) by the end of TNG. He was just the weird middle child that didn’t work.

Jake Crusher sounds like a nepo-bro drinking buddy to Kirk, NGL.
Maybe they took Barclay’s negative recommendation way too seriously.
