The Top 25 Michigan men’s basketball players since 1989: No. 8
Our offseason series ranking the top-25 Michigan men’s basketball players continues with maybe the biggest brand in the history of the program at No. 8:
UNITED STATES - APRIL 05: College Basketball: NCAA Final Four, Michigan Fab Five (L-R) Jimmy King (24), Ray Jackson (21), Chris Webber (4), Juwan Howard (25), and Jalen Rose (5) on court during game vs North Carolina, New Orleans, LA 4/5/1993 (Photo by John W. McDonough/Sports Illustrated via Getty Images) (SetNumber: X44178 TK4 R14 F7) The first member of the Fab Five comes in at No. 8 on our list of the top-25 Michigan men’s basketball players since 1989.
He was the vocal leader of the crew, a hometown hero, and remains a face of the University of Michigan and its basketball program. The great, Jalen Rose.No.
8 – Jalen Rose – Score: 124.2Before we get into this, we’ve stayed true to our scoring model for this entire series. I really liked 95 percent of the outcome, but Rose was snubbed.
He deserves to be higher for his profound impact during his tenure with the team, and the advocate and supporter he remains to be for the program. If we were ranking Michigan Men, Rose would probably be No. 1 for his brand, impact and philanthropic efforts for the state.
For six of the seven guys ahead of him, on the court, you can make a case, but I’d probably have Rose in the top-five if I deviated from the model, which scored stats, individual awards, and team success. With the Fab Five not winning a Big Ten championship nor a Big Ten Tournament (because it didn’t exist yet) and a lack of individual awards until his final season, Rose took a bit of a hit in the model, landing him at No. 8.
Rose, a Detroit native, was a starter for three seasons and the highest scorer of the Fab Five, setting the freshman scoring record (at the time) with 597 points while averaging 17.6 points per game. In their first national title run, Rose was phenomenal, scoring 25 points and collecting in 11 rebounds in a Sweet 16 matchup with Oklahoma State.
Then, he followed it up with a 20-point performance in the Elite Eight overtime thriller against Ohio State. Despite a loss in the National Championship
