Well just on paper imo. UCLA just signed 5 players in the top 50. I know Webber, Howard, Rose, and King were highly recruited not sure about Jackson.

Lets take a look at these boys:

PG Jerime Anderson: http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=2369450

SG/PG Jrue Holiday(Best of the bunch):

SG/SF/PG Malcolm Lee(Most gifted of the bunch):

PF Drew Gordon:

C J'mison Morgan:

The Bruins will be a force with these five and the veteran players like Collison, Shipp, and Moute. I feel sorry for your favorite CBB team next year :smh:
 
:smh::smh::smh::smh::smh::smh:
No Way Jose' The game is totally different these days, The OG fa 5 had Swag back in the early 90s before Jordan was even wearing long shorts and even black socks........ I hope it does happen just for the sake of the game.
 
Yea I know that Mich Fab Five will always be remembered b/c they had a big impact on the game. It would be tight to see that happen again. Like I said on paper UCLA's five looks to be better just hope it translate into the actual season.
 
did dott say no becahe thinks niggas aint got swag? Fucking douchebag
all niggas in l.a. got a lil swag some more than others.
UCLA will own next year good luck L.a. haters you will be hearing alot about l.a. basketballl in the years to come
 
The Michigan Fab 5 were true freshmen starters that made it to the NCAA Finals two years in a row, now if a team starts 5 freshmen and they can win a National Championship I would call that better.
 
My fave NCAA team ever = 1995 UCLA BRUINS

Well an update on the UCLA FAB FIVE:

Holiday: playing ok, but is not playing like he won HS player of the year only avg 10.5 pts/gm but has a nice overall game

Lee: had a breakout game then got hurt a little too wild at times.

Gordon: Is a beast will dunk at any chance he gets and will toss your shit if you don't come strong.

Anderson: Ok backup point nothing special right now.

Bobo Morgan: Big disappointment this boy is huge but tries to take charges and shit. He is a fucking project.

On the level of Mich's Fab Five not even close. BRUINS BITCHES!!
 
Nigga Please Michigan Fab 5 For Life. Different Era Different Time.

:lol: As you can see I'm a big UCLA fan but i'm realistic when it comes to Basketball and realize that Mich Fab 5 would stomp the Bruins. I was believing the hype in Westwood before the season started.

SO FUCK YOU :dance:
 
How dare you even evoke the memory of the Fab 5 is such a heinous manner! As a supporter of teams to that win all all costs (UNLV, Michigan, and now Memphis)...we will throttle you until we're put on probation!!!

Believe it!!!!
 
Jrue Holiday is a dissapointment so far considering all the hype that nigga got. They painted him out to be a one and done type player...he needs a few years

You right I completely agree but I dont mind him staying for another 2 yrs. I think he lacks that killer instinct. He plays as if he afraid of pissing Collison and Shipp off if tries to take over when in reality he probably is the Bruins best player based on talent.
 
:yes: Word on the street is 3 seniors went to UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland and told him you got to lets us run more and that his defensive philosophy won't change.

Since that talk between the 4 dudes UCLA has been killing :dance:
and if you been watching Sportcenter the results speak for themselves. Lets see how it turns out vs ASU and U of A.
 
I never knew they had a Fab Five... yet me and my cousin was talking about Webber and dem for about an hour on Friday... so I'm gonna go with know but I will check them to see whats up...

Wait Wait Wait... they playing this season or coming in next year?

Yeah they are playing this year. I will admit that it was all hype. Only one of the freshmen start Jrue Holiday(he won High School Player of the year and was rated like #3 player in the nation). He has not have the impact that everyone thought he would have, neither have the others.

Now that they are running a lot more you are starting to see the ability in all of them especially Holiday. These guys are just too athletic for the UCLA's coach offensive system.
 
Re: Ucla

:lol::lol::lol:

i wrote a post in this thread once about the fundamental flaws of UCLA, but those damn database errors didn't save it. so i said fuck it, i ain't about to type all that shit again.

coach howland recruits athletes first, basketball players second.

his philosophy is to try and put the best five ATHLETES on the floor at any given moment to try and overwhelm the opponent.

how you rate his success in recent years depends on if you are a glass half full or glass half empty type of person. i think today shows what happens when you subscribe to his mentality.

philadelphia stand up. good bye, pussific 10 team!

:hmm:
:lol: I think his problem is he is too stuck in his ways. No zone, calling time outs way too much(he calls them when his team is on a run), his style of offense just sucks(even though they shot well this year). The pg just dribbles the ball until shot clock is low gets pick and roll and makes a decision.

After the first like 5 games everyone in Bruin world knew this would be a rebuilding year so why did he not play the freshmen more?

This thread needs to die. I fucked up making it.:(
Also I did not think Moute would leave early for the NBA.
 
Hey you can make another one about Memphis. Their recruiting class is sick and they may also add the top PG to the class. UCLA has a squad and those games with USC next year should be good.

Memphis is done son.

:( Well my dream of seeing these 5 players together for 2 years is now over. 99.9% sure Jrue Holiday will stay in the draft. If you watched him this season you would say no way but the scouts and Chad Ford would say "Not so fast."

Crazy how a kid goes from looking like a bust in college to being a lottery pick from workouts. He is ranked #8 on the draft board. Got to be the UCLA system.

GO FOR THE MONEY JRUE.

When its official I'm taking down that fucking avatar.:smh:
 
dawg wtf were you thinking?
LOL when you get 5 players in the top 50 and one being considered by many best in the class you got to believe in the hype.

Bad thing is this class was probably one of the worst ever. I just took a look at it and realized that only Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans are the ones who are really balling at all. Monroe is another that seems he will be good.

So UCLA was lucky enough to get the #1 recruiting class of a weak class.
 
Duke has the best Fab Five ever!

Thomas Hill
Grant Hill
Christian Laettner
Bobby Hurley
Antonio Lang
