Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3634628, member: 10"] I don't think you're right about that and I remember reading something in the summer of 2016 that explained why they called themselves the Top 5. I found the article. The article also mentions it was a top 10 recruiting class in the first sentence of the article. [I]Durham, 6 feet 9, was the third of the five to commit to UConn, making his decision quickly after visiting in September. Durham, Jackson, Diarra, Alterique Gilbert and Christian Vital are all on campus now, and from the group chats came the nickname "Top 5," inspired by the lyrics of The Drake song "Grammys." "We heard it one day," Durham said, "and in the middle of the song, he was saying, 'top 5, top 5,' and we said, 'That's us.' We didn't want to be the 'Fab Five,' because that was already taken."[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/hc-uconn-men-0708-20160707-story.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
