Former University of San Francisco pitcher Aaron Poreda signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire care of the Birmingham Barons in about 2 months. The former 25th overall pick went 7-6 with a 2.89 ERA during the 2007 season for the Dons.

Also signing was Northwestern hoops star Kevin Coble, who returned a pair of index cards and a questionnaire care of the athletic department in about 2 weeks. The 6'8" forward averaged 16 points per game and shot nearly 39% from downtown last season for the Wildcats.
