Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, Ep. 153: Blue Ribbon Yearbook is at the printer! Talking with associate editor Patrick Stevens and saying farewell to a giant of the game.

In the newest episode of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, hosts Chris Dortch—editor and publisher of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook—and Kevin Ingram—the radio voice of Vanderbilt men’s basketball—discuss a variety of college basketball (and other) topics:

• Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook has been delivered to the printer! We will ship printed copies in early October, and our digital edition drops next week! Order at blueribbonyearbook.com.

• Patrick Stevens recounts the many conversations he had with college coaches while performing his annual yeoman’s work for Blue Ribbon. NIL, the portal, retention, and building a culture were hot topics.

• Saying farewell to George Raveling—coach, announcer, Nike ambassador, and mentor to countless young coaches and many others, including some guy named Michael.

• Rick Barnes, 71, signs a lifetime contract with Tennessee. But it isn’t money that keeps on the sidelines. It’s the joy of helping his players succeed.
