BOOK PROGRESSION
At this point I am working through the game by game details of Iowa HS games. This is necessary to rate players, and notice trends. Content analysis has enabled me to identify and correctly call the player of the year (either AP, Gatorade, or Miss Basketballs) for MN, ND, SD, IA, WI and MI. The call is made in September when I publish and the POY has held true for the last two years.
My part timer is going through the data entry for the college level.
I will be ready to publish again in September. There will three books--MN, The College trend book, and the US guide (which will feature ND, SD, IA, MI, WI, and a few more surprises. Look for a way to order this come September.
