Fab 5 Reunion in the works?
Our favorite really motivational and sometimes secret leaking (see the "YESSSSSSSSSSSS" tweet that was removed just before Mitch McGary's committment went public) assistant basketball coach Bacari Alexander is at it again, tweeting "Stay Tuned. We will reunite soon...... Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose share a Fab Five moment" with a link to the Youtube Video embedded in the first comment.
There's been a lot of speculation already with the rededication of Crisler Arena and the "10 Year Ban" coming off the books in 2013 that the Fab 5 would be recognized in some way. 4 of the 5 (Not CWebb) have already been welcomed back in some form, most notably Jalen's "Rose Garden" section of seats that he buys for children.
I don't want this to turn into another "They cheated, I hate them!" "I love them!" thread, so what would your perfect "Reunion" be? I'd take having all 5 of them back at Crisler, maybe Jalen speaking to the crowd, and a new display case on the Crisler concourse showing the whole history - The baggy shorts, the final 4 banners, the downfall, the scandal, the cultural impact, etc. Lay it all out there. It's history, to be celebrated and scorned and most importantly remembered.
Oh, also, Juwan should do the Cabbage Patch again.
If it helps you sleep at night.
And nope, can honestly say I've never taken any bribes or payoff, or lied to any grand juries or been convicted of anything. (Talk about not seeing a difference...)
across 360 or so Div I schools in Bbball, over 1000 in the NCAA, yes, I'm going to believe that the majority of the schools are doing it on the up and up. If not, just close it all down as far as I'm concerned and fill in the stadia and arenas. It's not worth it.
