Did Eric Curtis, Catcher from Matoaca transfer from VCU?
Anyone notice any other possible major transfers?

The only one I know of is that Sean Tierney, Clover Hill class of 2007 who played at UVA in 2008, has transferred to James Madison. Unfortunately due to the new rule, he'll have to sit out 2009 and wait until 2010 to return to action.
No info on Curtis, sorry.

Isn't this the first year for the transfer rule? And shouldn't that depend on if he signed on for another year at UVA? Maybe he was not offered the choice to stay on at UVA?
To my knowledge scholarships are renewed each year, not sure when that's done, so he may have not of either signed up for the next year or been offerred the choice of staying at all. Thus, he would have beat the deadline to transfer this year where he most assuredly is locked in to the "sit out one year transfer rule for next year?"

Oh! He is also listed on JMU's current 2009 roster as a Sophomore.
As for the circumstances of Tierney's departure, I think I know the reasons but don't feel comfortable posting them.
There is no exception to the transfer rule based on whether you were offered, cut or whatever. If you transfer D-1 to D-1, you sit a year. It's a ****** rule, but we have to live with it now. Thank the NCAA for yet another dump on baseball players.

That's where Jonathan Watson from Longwood is heading too.
To Miami-Dade, you mean?
Yes, Miami Dade CC
