Fab Five
The 1991 University of Michigan men's basketball freshman recruiting class, was made up of Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson. They were true freashman, at the begining of the season, only three of the five freshman started, it wasn't untill later in the season that the rest of the freshman started as well, what is know today as the fab five. Although they all played when the season opened on December 2, 1991 against the University of Detroit, they did not all play at the same time until December 7 against Eastern Michigan and did not start regularly until February 9, 1992. However, all of their wins and Final Four appearances were vacated due to Webber and others as well accepting money from Ed Martin (the Coach), compromising their amateur status. These five guys have had the biggest impact on basketball, Michigan State, and the way basketball is played.
