While I agree that such transfers typically don’t result in more PT, and transfers also end up sitting for a year, in most cases, it’s almost always about PT.

There’s not a single scholarship athlete in any sport that goes to a college thinking, “I’m going catch some splinters on the bench for a few years and then maybe I’ll be a reserve that gets 5-10 minutes a game.”  Every single one of them was a star in HS.  They’ve often had their egos inflated by HS & AAU coaches, as well as their parents, and sometimes that continues into college.

They are embarrassed that they’re not playing as much as they anticipated, and rather than realistically assessing their own ability, they blame the coaches and teammates, and they convince themselves that things will change at another school.

There are very few Saniya Chong’s around, who struggled to find PT for 3 seasons, but stuck it out, continued to work hard and became a starter and key contributor as a senior.
