'The Freshman team was lost long ago when freshmen became eligible for varsity play. For some, it was good because they were ready to play at the varsity level and move on. For others, it meant spending a year or more on the bench without any game-experience development. Players like Braswell and Buddy (and many more) could really gain from starting and playing in 20 or more games against competition upgraded from high school. I can think of many players that benefitted from Freshman games. Development of non-superstars has taken a step backward. Too bad.
