8/30 How Recruiting Works with Penn's Mike Murphy
Aug 30, 08:54 AM
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 Penn coach Mike Murphy.
Murphy's conversation is one of the most wide-ranging in the series. With respect to Penn and his personal philosophies, it stretches from the role of the Wharton School of Business to its urban campus to why the Quakers land so many big middies to poaching. With respect to being the father of two (soon to be three, and potentially maybe four) college athletes, he shares how his experiences inform the empathy he feels to recruits and their parents. And as a leader within the men's college coaches' association, he discusses how the trendlines have informed policy.
