Stunned that Whitlock wrote something that included something this accurate: "The legacy of the Fab Five is that they were on the cutting edge of America?s unashamed embrace of style over substance."

I'm not a Whitlock fan, but he's right on with that. I might even email him and let him know that he's done good job.

I have to agree with Whitlock on this. I think the Fab 5 was a good squad, but they were overrated as a whole. They do make for a good story/documentary and there is no doubt they were style over substance. They could have probably made another Final 4 run if Webber came back his Jr. year. They could have been better if they were substance over style but it just wasn't in their blood.

I wasn't bragging. I was asking if anyone else had heard it. Figured some more bball addicted posters would know off hand if a kid from a local high school was named Mr Ohio bball. Thought this was the Michigan bball thread, or as close as i'll find round here, anyway. :lol:

Hey Wolve, I was getting my haircut yesterday and my barber was saying something about this player from Detroit. Just wondered, have you heard anything about him? Do you think he is any good?

He is like 6' 10" and the guy said he played on Team USA 18 and under, and his team won the national championship and he was recently named as the State's unanimous player of the year.
Since this is like the only place where we can discuss Michigan high school basketball, I thought maybe it was relevant here.

Did Beilein offer this guy? He sounds like the kind of player that might really help you guys next year.

Darius Morris is entering the draft without an agent to have the opportunity to return.


Nik Stauskas, ranked 106th at his position by rivals, has committed to Michigan , using up their last scholarship unless darius bolts.

Trey Burke to TSUN

Right now, he's making a statement and walking the halls large at Northland High School.

Next year, if he sees playing time, he'll be the guy on the bench with a towel over his head at the end of the game.

I thought ESPN's "The Fab Five" was ridiculously biased because of the involvement of Jalen Rose as executive producer. It was entertaining, yes, but it wasn't journalism.
I'll give them the black socks, but shaved heads and baggy shorts were all Michael Jordan's doing. This film tried to give them way too much credit.
Georgetown had done the "black intimidation" thing a decade earlier and at least they won a championship.
The "Fab Five" were unique, but hardly the cultural phenomenon that this film made them out to be. I'd say with their hype combined with their never winning "the big one" they were on a par with the Houston Cougars' "Phi Slamma Jamma" of the early '80s.
