How much does the playoff run help recruiting ?

[DoubleE]

Is the playoff run already paying off with some higher end recruits giving YSU a look now ? have their been any commitments during the playoff run ?

Scout shows 10 plays with intrest in YSU http://www.scout.com/college/football/recruiting/2017-football-prospects?team=Youngstown%20State

1 of the 10 commited. 2 star RB BRAXTON CHAPMAN from Farrell whom committed to YSU on 12-20-16

Chapmans quote after picking YSU over St. Francis (PA), Lafayette, Army, and Robert Morris.

"The coaching staff and family atmosphere were some of the big reasons for me committing to Youngstown State," said Chapman.  "I also like having the chance to win games and compete for a National Championship.  It's just something I couldn't pass up.  I also have a chance to come in and contribute from day one."

This playoff run will pay off in 2018 recruiting, not this class.

This playoff run will pay off in 2018 recruiting, not this class.

Maybe for some undecideds or people who are teetering between a few schools.  Also it'll help for better JUCO's.

I think it will help somewhat. Not only with recruiting HS, but maybe getting some transfers as well. Also hope it helps recruiting fans to come and watch the games.

I agree with Penny on the JUCO's. I think that this run will help right away. These guys need to find a home & have been playing for 2 years. They are beyond the confusion of prep ball.
