Get 'em while you can
Summer 2007 marks the end, at least tentatively, of the free-transfer era in college baseball.
Following this offseason, players will be subject to the same rules as transfers in other sports are, meaning players will have to sit a year instead of jumping from one Division I school to another and suiting up right away.
Once again, Rick Jones and Tulane have come out winners in the transfer derby. This time, the Green Wave added a pitcher from North Carolina and shortstop Josh Prince from Barbe High School via Texas.
Jones has had tremendous success with transfers in the past. Examples include Cory Hahn, a pitcher from Kentucky, Micah Owings, currently pitching (and hitting) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Wes Swackhamer from Florida.
When you add in the new Division I-tested faces Jones now has, it looks like the Wave is ready to rebound in 2008.
