Highly doubtful. I'll guarantee no without actually knowing for sure.

Cancel out the years they didn't even have 5 total. Then how many left had guys spread out at positions where you would realistically put them out there.

I'd bet on 4, not 5.

Has BYU ever had 5 black players on the floor at the same time?

Yiowa

Maybe a few times during Cleve's years.

SinkingQuffa

7/19/21 5:36pm

I remember one time we had four on the floor but never six on the roster.

Oldcougfan

Aren't there seven on the roster this year?

While I can’t say definitively ‘no’, I’d be shocked if that has ever happened

It has never happened in my lifetime and believe me I'm old.

Oldcougfan

Maybe it happened in the 50s or 60s?

Surely you jest. BYU's first black basketball player was a guy named Gary

In the 80’s Jeff Chatman said BYU had an all black team with 4 token white players. Loved that guy.

PJMort

I don't buy it unless you can show me the roster.

Oldcougfan

I think think it was a joke

Charles Darwin

That Chatman was some player. And the team at that time was really something

LOL. Great line.

What I recall him saying was that it was him and 11 token white guys.

Chatman's a great guy. Had the impression his son could have been handled better

Forzaitalia

I saw Jeff Chatman a few years after he was finished playing for BYU

NYC and Japan

I don’t think we’ll see it this year, but it’s possible.

Yes recently. Like a couple years back

Yeah it happened in the rose era. Probably five years ago.

ayfan

7/19/21 5:52pm

Who? Did he ever have 5 black guys on roster?

SinkingQuffa

yea, I don't think it ever happened.

Mayor of Cougartown

Winder’s senior yr… Winder, Chatman, Ayets, Bartley IV …. Someone else.

kotacoug

7/19/21 6:03pm

Ellis…. Maybe. I remember mentioning it to my son when they were playing saying

kotacoug

7/19/21 6:06pm

Hmm. Perhaps. Maybe that wing from down south we had a year?

Just looked it up - Winder graduated the year before Chatman and Aytes were

BoiseBlue

7/19/21 6:38pm

Uh, there were 2 black guys on the team that year

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 6:45pm

According to BYU website bb roster? Take a look. I know you know

kotacoug

7/19/21 6:51pm

My bad, I guess there were 3. A walk-on as well. So still a no. 🙂

Lip Gallagher

2014/15 lol. Ok. There weren’t 5 AA on that team?

BYU roster on their website has 5 AA on the roster that yr…. The guys I listed…

kotacoug

Right, two didn't play. So only 3 with minutes. Never happened any other time

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 7:47pm

Lol still doubling down on that huh. It happened most likely 17/18 I know it’s

Yep I was wrong in Aytes. There were 5 but he sat out that year so only 4.

kotacoug

7/19/21 7:19pm

During the 17-18’ season we could have realistically fielded a 5-man unit

BoiseBlue

7/19/21 6:04pm

Maybe that year. I can’t remember exactly. I don’t remeber Kajon Brown ever on

kotacoug

I'm liking the effort.

SinkingQuffa

7/19/21 6:08pm

I think we've only had 4 on the floor. Lamont Morgan, Mike Lloyd, Abouo, Davies

Nope. Not enough.

Lip Gallagher

There were five black players in 17-18 and. Remember rose talking about it when

In 17-18 yes, but no chance we saw Brown and Bergersen out there with Yoeli,

Sadly not according to American history.

Truly only 3 or 4 possible games though. What are the odds in those games?

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 7:43pm

It was more than 3-4. If you are Rose and BYU's never played 5 black players at

No it wasn't. Have you even looked or are you just trying to keep this alive?

When it happened, it was in the last few minutes of the game. The only reason

So where the heck is it? You guys are obligated to prove it.

It didn’t have to be at the end of the game or in a blow out. You’ve got a

If it happened with MVSU, it was likely 2nd half between 11:55 and 6:42

BYUDM93

7/19/21 11:28pm

Within that time, you've got Nixon, Haws, and Worthington in the game.

Lip Gallagher

Fine point

That’s what I remember. It was talked about but not on the broadcast.

Happened 14/15 95% certainty.

You would be 100% certain it's impossible if you looked at the roster first. 🙂

I doubt it's even happened on the football field

You doubt 5 black players have been on the field at the same time for BYU football?

Black athletes are definitely underrepresented in basketball.

If you were truly color blind, this post wouldn't be a problem

Does it matter if we ( BYU ) ever started 5 non-LDS players?

I'm just pointing out that the only one freaking out about color here is you.
