....... IMO, the major reason for student/athletes transfering is because they don't get to play their freshmen season. What they need to understand is that most freshmen don't play and that if they will show some patience they will probably get to play and play alot. Just look at how many student/athletes transfer, flunk out, get kicked out, leave to be with Miss Wonderful, etc... if you hang around and do the things that the coaches want you will probably play in the end. Both kids and parents must learn some patience.
From what I have seen with my son's college and summer team, the most significant reason for lower classman transfering appears to be personality conflicts with the head coach and/or not liking the school (i.e. not a good fit). The upper classmen seem to be the guys more likely to transfer for playing time.
