Fab Five To Reunite During 2009 Final Four Festivities 2009: Fab Coming

Fab Five to reunite during 2009 Final Four festivities

The Fab Five are coming back to Michigan for the first time since they donned the maize and blue 16 years ago.
Well sort of. It just won’t be in Ann Arbor. Former Wolverines Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson will appear together at a charity event at the Motor City Casino in Detroit on April 4, the Ann Arbor News reported today. http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/basketball/index.ssf/2009/02/fab_five_to_reunite_as_part_of.html The quintet have been considered one of the best recruiting classes ever. Webber, Rose, Howard, King and Jackson led Michigan to back-to-back national title game appearances in 1992 and 1993. The NCAA has since vacated their records because former Michigan booster Ed Martin gave Webber $280,000 in illicit loans. Martin gave another $336,000 to three other Wolverine players. The event will benefit the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. It is part of a weekend of festivities surrounding the Final Four, which will be held at Ford Field. Ticket prices for the event haven’t yet been finalized.
The reunion will mark the first time the former Michigan starting five has been together since they all played together in 1992 and 1993.
