Reply to "D2 Regionals"

No argument from me.  The rules allow the revolving door of transfers and roster churn, and it is true that there are a lot of teams in D2 in particular that recruit transfers and JUCO players.  It is a common landing spot for kids who went JUCO hoping to attract D1 interest but were not quite good enough to do so.  Several of the CCAA schools in California attempt to model the Tampa approach but they are not getting as many D1 dropdowns as Tampa does and aren't as successful because they compete against each other for the same players wanting to stay in California.  Heck, there is a D3 in SoCal that is also known to be quite cut throat with his roster and yet talented kids still gravitate there hoping they survive.

Again, kudos to Tampa coach for being so consistently good at turning over his roster and succeeding every year in getting the team to come together (kinda like the John Calipari equivalent).  It is a different college experience, and players going to Tampa should be well aware of how it works.  But we can all pretty much chalk them into the CWS in Cary, NC next year as well.
