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, starting with Navy head coach Joe Amplo. Given the service academy's ability to begin contacting prospective student-athletes on July 1 (as opposed to Sept. 1, like the rest of his colleagues) and his commitments to Team USA in June, Amplo had a unique summer. He talks about his staff's composition, distribution of responsibility and style of evaluating.
