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 Maryland coach John Tillman. 

Reputed among his peers as one of — in not the — hardest working evaluator in terms of the time he spends on the sidelines, Tillman shares with Foy the combination of why and how he and his staff both go about identifying and vetting the best players who might be Terps, as well as how he breaks it up by trying to get laughs on the sidelines.
