We need to play, if YES, ANYONE who could provide assistance to the starters and this will help the team and give any young player a valuable experience.

I cannot wait for 2019, with all of our players back in the fold.

You can play in up to 4 games and redshirt.

I'm going to assume you are NOT talking about 2019 freshmen...

As for those who are freshmen this year- yes. As long as this is not their 5th game to appear in.

The bowl game on the first day of 2019 is considered part of the 2018 NCAA calendar, which isn't the same as the Gregorian calendar.

So if your question is related to the game happening in the calendar year of 2019 affects eligibility, the answer is no.

If, by chance, you are referring to the class of 2019 recruits who signed Dec 19th- Dec 21st, no. They are not eligible. They are not students yet and they have not met the NCAA hourly requirement (because they aren't taking classes).

the better question is there any players who have played in exactly 4 games
so far this season. Those are the only ones that the redshirt rule is relevant for.
As far as I know there aren’t any, which would mean all players except the ones
sitting out, injured and suspended can play.

Interesting to see if Clyde doesn’t go, Curry would burn his shirt.
