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 DI men's lacrosse coaches about their process, continuing the fourth year of the "How Recruiting Works" series with UMBC coach James Purpura.Arriving in Catonsville after this summer's dead period, the conversation centers around two themes: what Purpura has learned via the diversity of his last two stops (head coach at VMI and assistant at Ohio State) and the timing of getting to know his Retriever staff, familiarizing himself with the '27 commits, adjusting his lens for the '28s, getting practice started this week and preparing for the first conversations with juniors next Wednesday. It's an insightful glimpse into his whirlwind of July and August.

What does a career in GIS really look like—and how can graduate education help you grow in a field that's constantly evolving? In this episode of UMBC Mic'd Up, host Dennise Cardona, M.A. '23, talks with Meghan Arnold, a current student in UMBC's Geographic Information Systems master's program and a GIS technician working in local government. Meghan shares how she uses GIS to map and maintain critical storm water infrastructure, how skills from the classroom have translated directly to projects at work, and why communicating complex geographic data to non-GIS audiences is just as important as creating the maps themselves. She also discusses balancing graduate school with a full-time career, the flexibility she has found in the program, and her long-term goal of becoming a GIS manager. Tune in for a student's perspective on the real-world impact of GIS—and why this growing field is about much more than maps. Learn More: https://professionalprograms.umbc.edu/geographic-information-systems/

After some light banter about last week's picks and their “Give & Go” Ravens debate, the hosts dive into a long, impassioned discussion about the UMBC coaching controversy, detailing the months‑long suspension, reinstatement, and sudden termination of head coach Ryan Moran. They cite poor administrative communication, player support for Moran, and broader athletic‑department turmoil.From there, the show shifts into full preview mode, breaking down the weekend's biggest games across the Big Ten, ACC, Ivy League, and Patriot League.

Matchups, faceoff battles, goaltending edges, RPI implications, and stylistic tendencies all get attention in anchoring the analysis. Loyola senior goalkeeper Max Watkinson joins the show to talk about his journey from local St. Paul's standout to the Greyhounds' anchor in net, his unexpected path into high‑level lacrosse, and the program's resurgence in 2026. He discusses launching his own podcast (Crease Talk), the patience required while waiting behind veteran goalies, and how competing with players like Rutgers' Carden Stoller shaped his development.

Nate catches up with Laycee Drake as she returns to the podcast to share her college basketball journey. Now a graduate student at St. Bonaventure University, the Hancock alumna is using her final year of eligibility to play for Coach Jim Crowley. Last on the podcast in 2023, Laycee brings listeners up to date on her time at UMBC, a year at UAlbany, and the path that followed. The conversation covers the transfer portal, coming back from an ACL tear, and finding her rhythm again. It's been great to see Laycee thriving at St. Bonaventure and playing with the same high-energy style fans remember. This episode was recorded at Hancock Central School. Thanks to HCS for hosting us over the holiday break. 

(00:00) — The first spark: Dr. Gray asks when medicine became real.(01:34) — Military plans, cold feet, and choosing community college: He skips the Air Force and starts at McDonald's while exploring options.(02:50) — Hospital volunteering clicks: Serving patients water and meals feels right.(03:57) — Dodging family careers, then trying healthcare: After business, HVAC, and computer science, healthcare gets a look.(05:03) — PA vs MD crossroads: Realizing his reasons for PA pointed to wanting to be a physician—and surgery.(06:35) — Work ethic and upbringing: Family moves from a tough neighborhood shaped his drive.(09:41) — Early C's and the “not a science person” myth: Motivation and maturity change outcomes.(11:28) — Six-year undergrad and the pivot: Business transfer degree to UMBC biology and honors in philosophy.(13:12) — Why gap years: YouTube guidance, mentors, research, and phlebotomy.(15:36) — Inside admissions at Brown: The competition he witnessed.(16:36) — What likely stood out to Brown: Authentic story, first-gen identity, jobs, and solid metrics.(18:09) — Getting personal in the personal statement: Why vulnerability matters.(19:57) — One-and-done and the gift of virtual interviews: COVID made it financially possible.(21:48) — Will AI end virtual interviews?: Concerns about cheating and tech trust.(24:34) — AI in the OR and pathology: Augmenting surgeons and decoding tumors.(25:30) — The first interview invite memory: Relief and pride in the lab.(27:06) — If he could change admissions: Predicting academic success and centering people over scores.(29:03) — Transparency, the MCAT, and US News incentives: How rankings skew behavior.(33:09) — Final words to struggling premeds: Your timeline is your own—keep going.Ryland didn't grow up planning on medicine. After high school, he nearly joined the Air Force, worked at McDonald's, and enrolled at community college to explore paths—from business and HVAC to computer science. Hospital volunteering felt different. He became a phlebotomist, considered PA school, and then realized the reasons drawing him to PA actually pointed to becoming a physician—with a strong pull toward surgery.It wasn't linear. Early C's in science and a six-year undergraduate path (business transfer to UMBC biology with honors in philosophy) forced him to confront the “not a science person” label. With time, maturity, and motivation, he turned it around, took two gap years for research and service, leaned heavily on YouTube guidance, and sought mentors who helped shape his essays and application strategy.Ryland shares why he aimed for a one-and-done application, how virtual interviews during COVID made that possible, and what it felt like to see his first interview invite. He reflects on serving on Brown's admissions committee, what authentic stories communicate beyond metrics, and why getting personal matters. Plus, a candid discussion on AI's impact on interviews and training, the perverse incentives of rankings, and his message to premeds: your timeline is your own—and you can do this.What You'll Learn:- How to pivot after early C's and reframe the “not a science person” myth- Deciding PA vs MD by clarifying what truly draws you to patient care- Using community college, gap years, and mentoring to strengthen your application- What admissions values beyond MCAT and GPA—and why authenticity matters- How AI and rankings may shape interviews and the premed landscape
