If the current situation is clearly not going to work out, then Juco may be best option to play this year.
It is something that has been done numerous times that I have seen in the past five years. Sometimes it has been due to poor academic fit with the four-year school. Other times, the player was told after the fall session that either he was going to be red shirted, or that his playing time was going to be minimal. Under those terms, sticking it out is wasting a year.
I imagine there are Juco schools near your home who are familiar with you. I would start with those and see what potential good fits are out there.
In the cases I have seen, the players returned to Jucos near their respective homes, started, and moved forward from there. I'd say they made the right choice. I wish my son had seen the signs and moved on then rather that waiting until his sophomore year...which is also fairly common.
