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 Ohio State head coach Nick Myers. 

On the eve of his team's trip to Italy, Myers joins to discuss when and how his staff starts to identify the talent in a class, how they balance evaluation vs. communication, how he tries to get to know a prospect and what he thinks is appropriate when the conversation turns to finances, including NIL opportunities.
