1a4ysu and coach

1a4YSU:
Last year the former coach recruited 24  high school players. Only one recruit was from the Mahoning County. None from Columbiana, none from Trumbull Co. The new coach should be rethinking the policy of  not recruiting this area. Also, the new coach needs to have 1a experience. Ia experience, to take the football program to 1a. YSU's basketball program, has been 1a for sometime. Time to move on.

paladin:
Why would a coach recruit players who are not up to playing at this level? The mindset in this Valley is ignorance. Players who could contribute in a meaningful way were offered and went MAC or better. Sorry, but cronyism and politics already run rampant here with bad hires in. The athletic office. If the area players are truly worthy, there would be lots of offers from other D-1 schools as this area is heavily recruited. If you goal is to downgrade the talent level and doom YSU to a losing program, give up the Fla. ,Calif., etc players and stock up on substandard area players. Football I.Q. Here is very low.

1a4YSU:
The Kennesaw State Owls  are moving up to 1a.. YSU needs to go 1a. Then,YSU will be able to
recruit quality 1a players to the YSU program.  Actually, football intelligence in the valley is superb. For that very reason the YSU stadium seats are empty. The fans want to see good competitive football at the 1a level. Then YSU coaches would be able to keep some of the great talents in the valley. Also, YSU is the only state university still in 1aa football. What is with that?

1a4YSU:
Actually the Owls are moving to FCS.  The Owls most likely will be on the schedule with St. Francis, Bucknell and whomever.

1a4YSU:
YSU not only needs to hire a coach with 1a experience, but also a  athletic administrator that would have the expertise to move YSU to 1a football. 1aa football is no longer relevant in Ohio. YSU will no longer be eligible to play the big money games..............time to move on.
