Last month at Mock Rock, Jimmy King said that the Fab Five are "coming back, man." He made a couple references to the team and casually talked about the their return. I mentioned it briefly in my Mock Rock X recap two weeks ago. No one really thought much of it at the time.
Turns out, the reunion tour is coming to Michigan sooner than everyone expected.
As reported by the Associated Press, the Fab Five will reunite on April 4 at a Final Four charity event hosted by the Motor City Casino. The event will benefit the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. The Motor City Casino is just down the road from Ford Field, site of the 2009 NCAA Championship Game. The final game will take place two days after the event.
This is story will pick up more steam as we get closer to tourney time here in S.E. Michigan. But the fact that all five guys have agreed to appear at the same time under the "Fab Five" moniker has to be a step in the right direction for their return to Michigan's campus.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of comment Bill Martin will have about this event, as well as what the guys themselves will say about a possible return to Ann Arbor and Crisler Arena.
