A few changes, but the same great quality,
By Hernán Di Meglio (Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook: 2002-2003 Edition (Paperback)
I began buying Blue Ribbon before the 1999-2000 season (when Michigan State won it all), and it is, without a doubt, a must have for any serious college basketball fan. The 2002-03 edition features some changes, though none of them dramatic. First, the traditional Top 40 section was trimmed to a Top 25 to be on a pair with the rest of the major polls, and to have some more space for the new schools that join the Division I this year. Also, the recruiting info is back, with rankings of the top 25 classes for 2002-03, top 200 high school players in the country and top freshmen entering college. The only major blow this year is the lack of the 2001-02 Division I individual statistics, which is, at least for me, a big omission. Overall, it's a great book to buy; it's amazing all the information that contains. It takes me almost half a year to completely read it all.

THE source for college basketball.,
By Mike A "mikeska" (Sag Harbor, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook: 2002-2003 Edition (Paperback)
This annual tome is THE source for college basketball fans. This book has been published annually for 22 years by Chris Dortch. It covers ever division one team. In particular if you root for a mid or low major team then you cannot be without this book. It is the only comprehensive review of division one. It is written by regional experts that cover these teams for a living. It is well organized and absolutely full of useful and unique information on every division one team.

Typical college basketball reviews,
By "reallynothing" (Grand Rapids, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook: 2002-2003 Edition (Paperback)
This book covers every single college in the country. On one hand that is great because it can be an excllent source of information. But on the other hand, it's too much to get a real review on the upcoming season.There is not one person who can go out and syudy all of the teams, so what this author has to do is surf the internet, cut 7 paste and put together a patch work of basketball reviews for each team. The bottom line is that you get a book that gives you data (teams, coaches, roster, previous records, etc.) But when it comes to acurately projecting the field, this book is worthless. Just look at who they predicted to "win-it-all". It's like predicting the weather. The sad part is that this book is really authored by people who really know nothing about the teams.
