It's been eight months since we've heard from our Homewood Homies, so we're all thankful to hear them return as the end of the fall semester arrives.

IL's Matt Kinnear and Terry Foy discuss last weekend's World Lacrosse General Assembly, which approved a 6v6 ruleset that's been in development for about two years. A small-sided game that's intended to be easier to play around the world and fit better into multi-sport competitions like the World Games and the Olympics, there's still a lot to learn about what the game will actually look like and a lot of controversy to navigate.

Inside Lacrosse CEO Terry Foy and Editor-in-Chief Matt Kinnear discuss "The Mad, Mad World of Niche Sports Among Ivy League–Obsessed Parents," an article that appears in the November issue of The Atlantic.

IL's Terry Foy, Matt Kinnear and Halley Griggs discuss one of the biggest questions looming over the sport of lacrosse — will there be a 2021 college season? The trio compares notes based on their conversations with college coaches, the inferences based on how fall and winter college sports are moving forward and more.

Former Harvard lacrosse player shared his in-depth, personal story about coming out to his teammates last fall. He follows up with a conversation about the language of homophobia in the locker room, the brotherhood of his Harvard teammates and what lacrosse can do to be more inclusive. 

@OfficialLaxGirl, a.k.a. Tari Kandemiri, is back on the pod grind with a fun episode featuring Carly Fleischer (@kicksbycarly), who makes awesome custom cleats and gloves for lacrosse athletes.

IL Women's Director Halley Griggs joins Terry Foy to talk about the top recruits in the Class of 2020, highlighted by No. 1 Caitlyn Wurzburger, No.  1 midfieder Belle Smith, No. 1 defender Aine Maseker, No. 1 goalie Olivia Geoghan and Penn State's No. 1 class. They dive into the plan to re-rank the Class of 2021 and then discuss the last month of 2022 commits, including some of the standouts in that group.

An absolute beast of a podcast, IL's Ty Xanders and Terry Foy dive into the Class of 2022 recruiting landscape, which saw more than 200 players commit to men's DI programs in September. They examine Notre Dame's quickly assembled group, Syracuse's landing the No. 1 prospect and the way coverage of his commitment seems like a sea-change, Carolina's path to garnering No. 2's verbal and the in-state advantages they, Maryland and Michigan showed, plus Duke's late surge. And Ty lays out his thought-process behind the IL ID Experience, an individual event on Oct. 24 in Maryland that's shaping up to be one of the most talent-laden of the season.

Chad Toliver has been a vocal proponent for change in the sport. He sets the scene from Louisville in the wake of the Breonna Taylor protests, and he talks about his experiences of racism and isolation in the sport, as well as the progress made by him with the 'MLL 4.'

On Aug. 1, IL launched its Video Evaluation platform, a milestone in a line of work that started in earnest when the season shut down in March. Events and Data Coordinator Dan Kaplan oversaw the project, and he joins Terry Foy to discuss why IL decided to pursue this, what the work entailed, what the product looks like and how customers have responded in the early going.
