Trivia Question

[Harry]

Official site says 7 true or redshirt freshman started in the opening game against FIU last year. Can we name them?

1). Cyril Lemon - Guard (true freshman)

[GrandGreen]

I can't name them because I don't think it happened. Unless they are referring to players that started on special teams, Lemmon was the only true freshman to start. Y'Barbo and Johnson were redshirt freshmen.

"Joined seven other true or redshirt freshman to start for North Texas against FIU in his first collegiate action."

Well, I don't count that either, but the NCAA does as far as red-shirting/not-red-shirting goes.

Good find but I've sometimes found the player participation reports to be inaccurate.

Y'Barbo was a redshirt freshman. That's still a long way short of seven.

Maybe they were looking at all UNT's 1st-year players, including JUCO transfers? If so, that would add Chris Bynes and Andrew Power to the list. That brings us up to a total of what, four?

Yes, and so are a lot of their write ups like the one quoted.

Sorry for the delay. I usually provide a link to the YUCCA coverage of these athletic events. Here it is from the 1953 yearbook.

For those wanting to have their own link to all the North Texas yearbooks, here it is...
