Aug 26, 2023, 09:42 AM
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?"
The newest program in Division I, Iona is a member of the MAAC located in New Rochelle, N.Y., just north of New York City. 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. He's bringing in 17 members of the Class of 2023 for a Year Zero before they begin competition in the spring of 2025.
