Wille Mitchell. Dude was the TRUTH when he played for Pershing. I remember when he played in the X-mas tourney back home in Grand Rapids, MI. The whole damn city came out to see dude play. Whatever happened to him after UAB?


He transferred to UAB but was just an average player. So much for Coach Fisher saying that this Fab Five 2 would all start at one point.

Jerod Ward was from Mississippi, right? He was the most hyped out of all those guys. Never really did much.

Bullock was part of the tractor Traylor recruiting class. Those two clowns really ruined things with taking money and rolling over Traylor's SUV w/ Mateen Cleaves in the vehicle. After that it was the end of good basketball @ UofM - Cleaves, J Rich, and the rest of the best in-state basketball talent started attending MSU.

Traylor for Dirk. That has to be one of all-time worse draft day trades.

These fit true to size. I played in them today. Very nice for ~ 15 year old technology.

Yeah didn't Ward get hurt? A leg injury if I remember correctly. He never was the same after that.

Wasn't Eric Riley a part of the Fab 5 team too?

Also speaking of classic Michigan kicks...anyone remember some of the UM players rocking the Air Ups too (white/black/royal ones)?

I was looking at old footage from the 1994 Detroit Lions. I seen Barry Sanders rocking some black shoes similar to the AF Maxes. Did Barry ever wear those shoes in a game ?

Just picked up pair #1 tonight. Tried them on and couldn't say no. I definitely need another pair for casual purposes.

I need to break out the black socks now and I'm straight.

Wanted to pick up a pair today, but I decided to go with the Orlando Pennys instead.

Probably will pick up a pair next pay check.

Nah, he was three classes above them. He was a redshirt junior when the Fab Five were freshmen.

Actually he was the #1 player in the country coming out of high school that year. Knee injury slowed his career big time.

If it wasn't for that stupid damn car crash, those violations from Webber, Bullock, Traylor, and Maurice Taylor wouldn't have came out. Mateen Cleaves was a bum anyways.

i saw them today and the differences are very noticable...besides the tongue. for the shoes being my holy grail, i don't like some of them. besides the smaller tongue, like the original retros, nike still left the metalic mesh out of the toe box (the three holes) and the silver trim over the bubble looked funny and the air bubble is smaller. very picky...but like i said, they're my holy grails and i'm not very happy when they take a classic and make them worse...should have never re-retroed...not the way they did anyway!!!
