Nothing makes you feel the impending arrival of a new basketball season like the appearance of preview magazines on the newsstand racks.   There’s a little rush I seeing each new one slowly find it’s way to the store.

So far I’ve gotten the college basketball editions of Athlon, Lindy’s, Sporting News, and Yahoo Sports (which seems to mirror the format of the CBS Sportsline magazine from the past few seasons, looks like a rebranding)

I’ll have full reviews coming but so far I’m enjoying Lindy’s the most out of the 4.  It has a great layout particularly for smaller conferences that gives you a wealth of pertinent information and it’s one page newcomer summaries for each conference are fantastic reads.   Ups go to Athlon for including some college fantasy basketball rankings.
