1.0 out of 5 stars A big disappointment!, November 7, 2001

I have also bought this book for the last several years and was extremely disappointed that the TOP 44 high school profiles was deleted. That section was the major reason I enjoyed the book - to be able to know the stars of the future. I didn't buy the 2001-02 edition and probably will not in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still The Best.....But, November 15, 2001

This review is from: Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, 2001-2002 (21st Edition) (Paperback)

Blue Ribbon remains the best preview of college basketball in existence. It has comprehensive, well written reviews of every team in Division I, with detailed analysis on every player. However, it has gone downhill this year because it omits the section on high school players, which was always fascinating. In my case, it was often the first way I heard about the future stars of the game. In addition, Blue Ribbon appears to have eliminated its early season update and the NCAA tournament preview (written after Selection Sunday and delivered by Wednesday), both of which were excellent. Nonetheless, if I bought only one basketball publication per year, this would still be the one.
