I can't imagine being frustrated enough to enter the transfer protocol only to go to another place where you are competing against a stud for a starting spot and/or you only get one year where that isn't the case. There are enough good programs that have a hole here or there, and I'd be looking for the good program that has a huge hole specifically at my weight so I know I solved their problem and mine at the same time.

The training, dieting, and sacrifices of this sport are so hard that you'd want that starting role as your payoff.
