The Fab 5 were perhaps the greatest recruiting class in the history of college basketball, forming the University of Michigan starting 5 for their freshman and sophomore years. The Fab 5 were Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, Juwan Howard and Ray Jackson. In their freshman year, they made it to the championship game but lost to Duke, then made it back their sophomore year, losing to North Carolina. Chris Webber left for the pros, and the Fab 4 that remained made it to the elite 8 their junior year before losing to eventual champion Arkansas.
