UK 2017 Class VS Fab Five

[white10]

I think if Cal lands Bamba, I think UK take the top spot for best class every.

What say you?

Kobe is going back to school?!

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

No

It wouldn't be apparent for years, if it happened at all.

Fab Five is legendary because they had three guys go onto the have massive NBA careers. Classes are measured by their college and NBA success (which is why the '13 UK class doesn't hold water with Randle being the only legit NBA guys from that group). UK would have to have three or four guys go on to have the types of careers of Howard/Rose/Webber, and they'd also have to make a Final Four in their first year like the class of '91 did at Michigan.

Yes, if Cal brings in Kobe Bryant (Mamba), UK will have the greatest recruiting class of all time.

Ray Jackson was #84 in the class but the other 4 were all top 10 if memory serves

If they win a championship there wouldn't be any doubt.

No. That five were not only great on paper but lead the team to the title game when competition was WAY better than it is now because even the top guys stayed for a good 3 years for the most part

Still would be doubt do to competition then compared to now. Not debatable

If they win a championship there wouldn't be any doubt.
