Members OF "Fab Five" Discuss Legacy At Univ. Of Michigan Forum

Three members of the Univ. of Michigan's "Fab Five" yesterday in Ann Arbor joined sports journalists and professors Kevin Blackistone and Billy Hawkins, as well as UM professor Yago Colas, in a forum to "discuss the impact of the Fab Five and the lingering ill will from the Ed Martin-Chris Webber fallout that led to UM wiping away the records from that era." Fab Five members Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson were in attendance, and a fourth member, Juwan Howard, "taped a message that was played at the start of the forum." Webber "was invited but did not respond." Rose said, "For this moment to be taking place, this should be the lead catalyst to truly repair the relationship to where it's not awkward. Because it's kind of awkward. Hopefully, this becomes a catalyst to break down this barrier." While the UM athletics department "officially was a co-sponsor of the forum," no "high-ranking member of the athletics department was present" (DETROIT NEWS, 10/9).
