I doubt it. Lists are lists. Prospect lists aren't proprietary. You can find several all over the internet. My son was recruited by a coach at school #1, and again by same coach at school #2 after a job change. I think of it like this: Coaches recruit players, not schools.
No rule preventing it until your son commits to a college.
As suggested before, pick the college program based on the school and not on the coach. They tend to change colleges quite often, especially the younger guys as they advance in their own careers.

Let me expand on the question...
A player is a rising soph, coach leaves during the summer, lands a new job can he bring the player over to his new school?

Ahhhh, in that case YES there is a rule. Until a player is released by his school's AD from his baseball commitment he is not allowed to negotiate with another college.
(Signing a NLI commits a player to the school for 4 years. The $$$ commitment in a NLI are just for 1 year.)

13.1.1.3 Four-Year College Prospects. An athletics staff member or other representative of the institution’s athletics interests shall not make contact with the student-athlete of another NCAA or NAIA four-year collegiate institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining the written permission of the first institution’s athletics director (or an athletics administrator designated by the athletics director) to do so, regardless of who makes the initial contact. If permission is not granted, the second institution shall not encourage the transfer and the institution shall not provide athletically related financial assistance to the student-athlete until the student-athlete has attended the second institution for one academic year. If permission is granted to contact the student-athlete, all applicable NCAA recruiting rules apply.

Just a bit one-sided, don't you think?quote:(Signing a NLI commits a player to the school for 4 years. The $$$ commitment in a NLI are just for 1 year.)
DBG: I agree...coaches change jobs for their benefit players can't.
It may seem a bit one-sided guys, but players transfer all the time....lots of them.
I was only referring to the $$$ part. The agreement is between the school & student/player; not the coach. I don't begrudge any coaches or players changing schools. Everyone is looking for an improved situation. I know I've changed jobs once or twice. Sometimes of my own volition.
The signing of the NLI only committs you to one academic year

No, this is an area that is not well understood by many players and parents. As told to me, once you sign an NLI to a 4-year school you have committed to play for that school (not the coach) until 1) the head coach releases you from the team 2) you obtain a written release from the college Athletic Director to play elsewhere 3) you sit out a year 4) you play in another division. The college holds the cards as said before because the NLI scholarship agreement is for 1 year but your commitment is for 4.

I agree, in the sense that the NCAA limits your transferability. You have however, fullfilled your NLI commitment. This guide from the NCAA website explains it in, almost English. Basically you are right
