Are players transferring too much right now in college sports? It seems to me
that if you just pick a team that is a good fit for your abilities, unless Riley Nelson is on the team, eventually you will get a shot. Or like the case of Todd Mortensen just transfer down your Senior year to a nice USD type school.

I am just prone to think of this, because I follow UNLV basketball and every year they have 5-6 guys transfer in, or transfer out or declare early only to play in the D-League and later Europe or anywhere else overseas. Seems too many kids are impatient. Obviously Aytes left (even kid he seems mediocre), but the guy in front of him last year Wood is in the D-league after being undrafted.

Then this year a big recruit sophomore Goodluck Okonoboh transfers mid season and the two guys ahead of him on the depth chart Ben Carter, another transfer from a BETTER Oregon Duck team, and Stephen Zimmerman get injured. So he transferred, essentially during what surely would have been the best opportunity for him.

Even this year there was a QB/Athlete who could have gotten a shot to start for Baylor in the bowl game if he would have stuck around, instead he was a backup for a horrible Sac State team.

What are people's thoughts on this? There seems to be too many Jake Heaps and not enough Christian Stewart's. Of course Baker Mayfield did it about perfect. It just seems a little ridiculous the amount of turnover in college sports these days.
