Lessons in Recruiting

LSC student Sam Monroe reports about the many ways coaches here at Lyndon State College pull in recruits from different areas to be a part of our sports family.

LSC women's basketball coach, Vincent Maloney, starts off by mentioning "Great players make good coaches great." And in order to find those great players, recruiting is extremely necessary.

LSC's sports information director, Bill Johnson, also says "Recruiting is the life's blood of your program." Johnson's direct words stress just how necessary the recruitment is.

LSC is a division three college, so it cannot offer the scholarships that other larger schools can. Coaches have to make up for this by traveling to local games and meeting with the players on a one on one basis.

The coaches like to put emphasis on the small size of the school, the winter sports and the close connection between students and teachers.

Coach Vincent Maloney sums up recruiting by saying, "Bringing in solid athletes to make the program stronger, builds the team and helps the campus as well."
