Now that the "How Recruiting Works" series has heard from a coach of a team in each of the 10 men's DI lacrosse conferences, IL's Terry Foy opens the doors to coaches from other programs with unique recruiting situations. First up? Harvard and Gerry Byrne.

Whether it was how he helped promote the program or his method of talent acquisition while at Notre Dame, Byrne made a name for himself as a pitbull on the trail. Now with four years under his belt in Cambridge, how similar are his tactics and in what ways has he adjusted his strategy?

Vermont head coach Chris Feifs joins for the 10h installment of the series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Representing an America East program, the series now includes a coach from one of each of the 10 conferences in men's Division I lacrosse. Feifs threw down the gauntlet in preparing for the conversation, saying that the Catamounts' recruiting strategy is "vanilla." The discussion proved to be anything but, starting with UVM's unique appeal to Canadians, how their methods have evolved with the program's success, how he frames Burlington and more.

Providence head coach Bob Benson joins for the ninth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Heading into his second recruiting cycle leading the Friars, Foy starts by (jokingly) confronting Benson on a core aspect of their friendship that is both true and overblown — that because he worked for two coaches who handled such a significant percentage of the recruiting burden, he wasn't involved. From there, they discuss how Benson values athleticism vs. IQ, what he's learned about what attracts prospects to Friartown and much, much more.

Drexel coach Brian Voelker joins for the eighth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Foy starts by asking Voelker whether, among programs that have won an NCAA Tournament game in the last decade, Drexel's recruiting strategy is the biggest outlier. Voelker says yes, and from there, they discuss why and how, and eventually get to one of the aspects of Voelker's experience that most informs how he conducts his recruiting strategy: his son went through the process.

Iona coach Chad Surman joins for the seventh installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Surman explains how he went from Le Moyne to Salisbury to Lehigh to Mercer — ultimately becoming the Bears' head coach — to Manhattan before getting tapped to lead the startup program in the fall of 2022.

Bellarmine head coach Andy Whitley joins for the sixth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Whitley's path to being a Division I head coach was not conventional, nor was it a straight line. He starts by explaining how he get to Louisville, then the conversation turns to June 2019, when he produced about 500 player evaluations for Inside Lacrosse's Recruiting Database when he was between his tenure as a Fairfield assistant and taking over for the Knights. Through that lens, they discuss the system and process of evaluating players, and how that's informed how Whitley and his staff approach building their roster.

High Point head coach Jon Torpey joins for the fifth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

Like the last podcast with Andy Shay, Foy starts by outlining Torpey's background and career stops — Calvert Hall (Md.), Ohio State, Denver and Dartmouth, most prominently — the led to becoming the first coach in Panther program history. From there, he outlines how he found and recruited the likes of Dan Lomas and Matt Thistle, Connor McKemey, Tim Troutner and Asher Nolting. They end by discussing where he sits with ’24s and how they'll attack the Class of 2025.

Yale head coach Andy Shay joins for the fourth installment of this month's series in which IL's Terry Foy tries to answer question, "How does recruiting work?"

As opposed to the "How do you evaluate?" and "How do you communicate?" formats that Foy used with Navy's Joe Amplo, Ohio State's Nick Myers and Virginia's Lars Tiffany, Foy starts by asking Shay how his recruiting has evolved since he arrived in New Haven ahead of the 2004 season. They move through culture-building, admissions standards, emphasizing athletic potential and handling success. They end with how the Yale staff is approaching the Class of 2025; the role that highlight videos and athlete outreach plays, how they build their list and much more.
