Will Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood's suspension affect recruiting?

With Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood being suspended three games and fined $50,000 due to rules violations, fans have repeatedly asked whether this could have a negative impact on recruiting.

But, so far, it has not.

Rutgers' recruiting class of 2016 has stuck together so far, despite the negative attention the program has received, recently.

When NJ.com reached out to a number of Flood's class of 2016 committed recruits and their parents last week, each expressed support in Flood and reaffirmed their commitment to the program.

And although each was polled prior to Wednesday's ruling, the few we were able to reach after the suspension came down, did not waver in their support.
