per ESPN:
John Beilein said he believes Michigan will officially honor the complete Fab Five in the future.
Ray King, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Chris Webber and Jimmy Jackson -- five key members of the Michigan squads in the early 1990s -- captivated the nation with an exciting style.
In 2002, however, the university vacated that team's two trips to the Final Four and 113 wins over an eight-year span following an investigation that unveiled payments to former players, including a six-figure sum to Chris Webber, from booster Ed Martin.
"We love the Fab Five, and we continue to reach out to the Fab Five and that team," Beilein said Sunday at a press conference prior to Monday's national title matchup against Villanova. "It wasn't just five guys on that team, now. That was a team of champions as well. .... When you have the NCAA violations in there, that's a time that it takes some time to heal. But I'm looking forward to the times when we get everybody in that group together and all of that isn't under our control, if you understand that."
