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

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

7/19/21 5:37pm

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

7/19/21 5:39pm

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.

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

Oldcougfan

7/19/21 5:40pm

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.

LifeLongLakerFan

7/19/21 6:22pm

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

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

Yes recently. Like a couple years back

kotacoug

7/19/21 5:48pm

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

7/19/21 5:56pm

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?

SinkingQuffa

7/19/21 6:06pm

The guy that thought he was a 3 pt threat but could only hit the side of the

kotacoug

7/19/21 6:09pm

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

7/19/21 7:00pm

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

7/19/21 7:18pm

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

BoiseBlue

7/19/21 7:08pm

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

7/19/21 6:07pm

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

GhostRider

7/19/21 6:31pm

Nope. Not enough.

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 6:50pm

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

ayfan

7/19/21 7:09pm

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

Sadly not according to American history.

So Obama isn't black?

All 5 of them played in several games, its not even a weird lineup if you put

ayfan

7/19/21 7:28pm

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

ayfan

7/19/21 7:52pm

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

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 8:05pm

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

ayfan

7/19/21 8:22pm

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

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 8:40pm

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

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 9:17pm

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

7/19/21 11:45pm

Fine point

BYUDM93

7/19/21 11:59pm

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

kotacoug

Started 4 black players in a preseason game in 2011-2012

dukestirr

7/20/21 8:36am

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

Lip Gallagher

7/19/21 6:46pm

Happened 14/15 95% certainty.

kotacoug

7/19/21 6:59pm

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

Lip Gallagher

I’m just spit balling. Lol

kotacoug

7/19/21 7:07pm

I doubt it's even happened on the football field

Beggar

7/19/21 8:22pm

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

YIsForBrigham

7/19/21 8:42pm

Black athletes are definitely underrepresented in basketball.

If we profess color blindness, why is this even being discussed? To what Purpose

Those on here engaging in this topic. I’m only asking. What do you think?

coastcat

I don’t think anyone in the discussion professed “color blindness” did you see

Charles Darwin

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

Yiowa

7/20/21 8:46am

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

coastcat

7/20/21 8:51am

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