Recruitment Process in Lacrosse and the Emotional Aspect

Around this time every year, dozens of parents of high school prospects ask IL's Terry Foy some version of the question, "How does recruiting work?"

In an effort to round out that answer, he's interviewing a series of DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing with Virginia head coach Lars Tiffany. 

From comments like "At Virginia, we don't lose a lot," to "No. 1 recruits don't come for 30% [of a full scholarship]," Tiffany's candor is on full display. He discusses how unique his summer was, spending two weeks in June in San Diego with the Haudenosaunee Nationals and replacing longtime assistant Sean Kirwan with former Lehigh coach Kevin Cassese, his tendency to track player production, how they juggle players more interested in UVA than the staff is in them and much, much more.
