Prep/High School guide: Relationship Building

With restrictions on recruiting, plus academic and financial aid intricacies, assembling a roster is a constant juggling act for prep school coaches

By Jonathan SigalAugust 1, 2017

So when Curran goes about assembling his roster, he leans upon his relationships in the lacrosse world, specifically throughout the club scene.
