The FAB FIVE '2' Came Nowhere Close To Their Potential! What Happened? Stunted Growth

- If you’re a fan of basketball, from any era, unless you live in a pineapple under the sea, you’ve heard of the Fab Five, a group of 5 freshman who played for the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball program beginning in 1991, and immediately became household basketball names on any level, a lot because having 5 top recruits all head to the same program was unheard of at the time. Known for their baggy shorts, Black socks and black air max 180 sneaker, bald heads and extreme talent, the five freshman created an entirely new culture in college basketball early on and it translated on the court as well. In come the Fab Five II in King and Jackson’s senior year. Another powerful recruiting class, featuring another top high school prospect and Naismith and Mississippi player of the year, as well as first team all American 6’9 power forward Jerod Ward, Second team all American 6’8 forward Willie Mitchel, another 6’9 power forward Maurice Taylor, 6’5 point guard Travis Conlan, and 6’9 Maceo Baston to round out what many assumed would be the next best thing to come through Ann Arbor Michigan. Only much like the original Fab Five, they managed to have all that talent and fall short of their potential. The FAB FIVE '2' Came Nowhere Close To Their Potential! What Happened? Stunted Growth

Who remembers the Fab Five 2? The five that tried to resurrect Michigan basketball after the original Fab Five had everything stripped from them, but didn't come close to living up to the high school hype.
i rem them. dope era and style of college bball
Great research
Jalen is not great he's a bum
That wasn't true about the original. I was on campus then. Everyone knew that there was hatred going on between the the upper class men especially from Detroit. Talley purposely told Webber to call that time out. Look at who Webber was yelling at. And remember who took Talley spot in line up the year before. Cooley and Southwestern had a rivalry
You can also add in the coaching style or system. This team should have been a pressing team. They had no post up type player, to get an easy basket.
Sequels rarely live up to the original ..
Truth
Some rarely surpass.
Empire Strikes Back, Back to Future 2, Superman 2, Spiderman 2, Dark Knight etc. Very rare. And yes, Webber left because he was ridiculed / ostracized on campus after the game.
Just goes to show the depth of those squads. 90s college basketball was must see TV.
I never even knew there was a second Fab Five!
This is one of the best basketball channels on TH-cam
it is the best 👌
Those squads with mo taylor, Louis bullock, maceo baston, and Robert traylor was the squad i thought that would turn it around for Michigan. I loved watching them when i was younger. Those squads were fun to watch here in Detroit in the 90’s. Salute to Maurice Taylor. Henry Ford High School legend and salute to traylor(R.I.P.) Murray Wright High School legend.
Indeed. Robert Traylor was a beast.
My potna was on that team Brandun Hughes
Man this squad had me amped after the fab five. Shout out Mo Taylor. Detroit Henry Ford legend
FACTS! Mo Taylor was a BEAST back in the day. But he did have a few good seasons with the Clippers though.
Fab five changed basketball point blank period let's give them they're flowers
NO THEY DIDN'T & THE REAL FAB FIVE THAT CAME BEFORE THEM ACTUALLY WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Who was the NBA's 1st 100 million dollar contract man? Juwan Howard
Crazy, still had a decent career with longevity
My guy Willie Mitchell...seen him dunk on 2 dudes at Pershing from a step inside the free throw
My pops would tell me to stop playing Willie Mitchell D when I would reach and not move my feet
I love your channel as someone who loves watching and playing basketball.
I had a class with Willie at Pershing High in Detroit. He really had NBA potential it just didnt pan out at U-M, and Maceo was a rim terror. Quick and very precise when around that hoop, ready to slam it down
I believe it’s pronounced “May-see-o Baast-yun”. Good work as always though.
I recognized that too. You are correct.
Awesome Video👍
Imo, as far as the first stunt goes I don't think there was an issue of being unwanted I just think Coach Fisher knew what time it was as far as the true ability of the fab five 2. Coach may have saw the hype getting to their heads and decided the youngsters needed a public reality check.
I'm from Michigan and was in high school when this team was together. Baston was a beast dunking on everybody and solid on defense as well.
Travis Conlan was turnover city. We needed a real pg.
But the real team was when Traylor, Bullock, & White came. That squad was crucial! They had a classic game against Duke!
Do some research my friend, far from Turnover City…. 1.7 per gam

@@jp2Ten numbers don't tell the whole story. He was suspect with the ball. Bad decision making. I watched the games.
Traylor was my fav from back then and Albert White was a man child
Webber chocked, it happens but then blamed everybody else🤷🏾♂️
He had skills like crazy but his head was big.
What the hell is Chocked?
Choked
THEY WAS TELLING HIM TO CALL TIMEOUT ITS ON VIDEO NEVERTHELESS WHO ARE "YOU" TO CALL ANYONE A CHOKER WHEN IM SURE YOU'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH THE ONE OF A KIND PRESSURE THEY HAD!!!
That's crazy you are doing a video on Michigan 1995-1998 team...I was just watching their games on TH-cam...I was just watching Michigan at MSU in 1996 game and was watching Michigan vs Purdue in 1997...That class was good with Maurice Taylor,Robert Traylor and Louis Bullock who could shoot the ball...They just didn't fit in with Steve Fisher's coaching...They had potential to learn and become Big Ten Champs and maybe get to the Finals Four but they just didn't have it in them
Great video 👍🏾👍🏾
Do one for Patrick McCaw, currently in the G league after blowing off the Warriors cause he wanted more PT.
and he got 2 rings lol !
@@LionButNevaLyingg1999 3 actually, and 2 of them as a bench warmer
So you attacking a 3time champion for wanting more playing time?
@@jamaalhorton2343 That’s exactly correct.
Thought this was going to be about the early 2000s Michigan team with Daniel Horton and his freshman class. That’d be an interesting video as well
I remember watching the original 5, of course, but I thought Maceo and Maurice were gonna revive Michigan. Ah well, they were still dope college players.
Yeah. Especially Mo Taylor. But he probably was TOO close to home.
Can you do Tim Headache Gittens & Kenny Bad Santa Brunner
Salute to University of Michigan Mens Basketball!From Joubert to Hickison!Go Blue!
You finally doing what I asked you to do. High light teams that should've won a championship
I mentioned for u to do a cover on Jerod Ward before👍🏼
IDC what anyone says but I’m an OSU fan but I was rooting for the Fab five for sure during their runs.
Seriously doubt we’ll every see an all freshman team of that caliber ever again.
Those dudes put on a show every time they went out on the floor.
🏆
My friend said Jerad Ward was by far the best player on the Team he said no one could guard him and no one wanted to guard him!
Nice
Do you have an Will Salomon video ?? If so we need one
They were a Fab Five in name only. They were injured, and ultimately not good enough on the court. 🤷
I’d like to see you do Alex Len 5th overall pick that just never lived up to the hype.
Didn’t Traylor make it to the league too? You hardly, if at all mention him in your review of the “Fab Five 2”. And what about White who ultimately transferred. In that time period, Michigan recruited Top 30 players. Ward, White, Traylor, Taylor, Mitchell, Conlan, Bastion. If not for injuries, transferring & playing time, Who knows what would’ve been..
They most definitely made the tournament go check that,they also Won the first big ten tournament championship
I think if they didn't get into that accident they win a chip with Mateen cleaves
Never even heard of the fab five 2 until now.
FAB FIVE 3 & THATZ CAUSE YOU'RE NOT A HOOP HEAD!!!
UNLV rebels team 1991 next
@Stunted Growth
Few Suggestions:
Carlos Arroyo
Rudy Fernandez
Raja Bell
Courtney Lee
Leandro Barbosa
Sasha Pavlovic
Kevin Martin
Hakim Warrick
Andrie Karlinko Ak47
Antonio Daniel's
Jarred Jeffries
Rodrigue Beaubois
Literally all those guys mostly maxed out their potential.
Wow! I have no recollection of them at all. I only remember the original Fab 5.
THAT WASNT THE ORIGINAL FAB FIVE IT WAS HIGGINS,ROBINSON, MILLS,VAUGHT & RICE THE CLASS BEFORE THEM WHO THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 1989!!!
Willie Mitchell and Pershing destroyed my hometown high school in the state finals Back to Back years.
The amount of talent they had, they underachieved
I GUESS YOU'RE JUST GONNA OVERLOOK THE INJURIES!!!
Fab 5 and no Young Dro? Man please! I give up!
As a Michigan State fan, I laughed at the fab 5 2, imo they had some good players. But never should have labeled them fab 5 2
SpongeBob catching strays
I'll never forget the hype behind Ward... it was crazy. He was just never healthy and never did anything. Maurice Taylor was a stud tho and Maceo was an athletic freak. Conlon and Mitchell were letdowns for sure. I thought Willie Mitchell was gonna be the man tho... just never happened
Them was my dawgs tho 🪖
Do a stunted growth on doc rivers downfall from being a HOF coach 🤧
How he ruined his legacy
🙄🤡
Ray Jackson got black ball. Jimmy King was that dude also
How did ray Jackson get black balled??
@@jamesblack6226 I saw an interview with Jalen Rose, where he said Ray Jackson was purposely kept out of the league. He made a comment, said something like Ray sacrificed the most, if he(Ray) would've taken the scholarship to Texas he would've been in the NBA.
Well, they won the same amount of championships.
BS I WAS A HUGE FAN ON THEM!!! THEY ARE STILL THE ONLY CLASS OF FRESHMEN TO MAKE IT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. AND ALMOST WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP OVER DUKE!! A POWERHOUSE PROGRAM WHO MY FAVORITE TEAM THE GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM OF ALL TIME THE RUNNIN REBELS OF UNLV STOMPED BY WHAT IS STILL A NCAA ASS WHOOPING RECORD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. THE FAB 5 WERE LIKE ROCK STARS. THEY WERE ONE STEP AWAY FROM REACHING THEIR APEX!! NO WAY THAT LEVEL OF TALENT STAYS IN SCHOOL FOR FOUR YEARS!! AND THEY DIDNT!
All because blood couldn't drive
Video eight of asking for Isaiah Thomas stunted growth story
A 60th pick in the draft…
Chris Weber never seemed to be as mentally prepared to be a superstar as a Shaq or Duncan was. Very talented but seemed to always come up short when his teams needed him the most.
He was great just suffered more injuries Duncan and Shaq didn't get injured often
Timeout
They just weren’t that good.
Actually they were. Mo, Rob Traylor, and Maceo Baston all made it to the NBA at a point. Willie was good too but couldn't get his head on straight. Big Al white was good too but they wouldn't give him the PT so he left.
These guys were definitely not as talented as the original FAB FIVE..Three lottery picks?..heck naw..not even close..TAYLOR AND BASTON made it..but they never moved the needle..
Jc Michigan had nothing but bums . Fab five my butt .
Dugan fife was horrible. They could not have had a worst player on their team. Just a waste . Could not shoot guard or rebound. He had the nerve to speak on Chris Webber . Travis Conlan, was decent he was 10x better then Dugan Fife . His name said it all
Fab five 2 whoooooo? Never heard of that shit
Oh. So this is where the super team era began?
THEY WASNT BEATING DUKE OR UNC THE BARLEY GOT PAST OHIOST THEY DID ALL TGEY CAN DO
NAH THEY DID ALL THEY CAN DO THEY LOSE TO BETTER TEAMS PERIOD
