You still see it happen just like in every sport but if you're in a healthy room your goal has likely always to be an AA/National champ. If you can't beat the guy ahead of you, why transfer down just so you have to cut weight all the time, make your life harder, and give up the best possible practice partners and coaching that may ultimately give you a shot at those goals. We have highly regarded guys like Howard, Flynn, Ulrey, and Crook who were not expected to contribute at the beginning of this year but we might need some of them. Gerardi is another example of a guy who had starting aspirations but it didn't end that way. He could've transferred somewhere and found a home. On the flip side starters transfer more. You want to bet the best in the country guys will seek out the best rooms in the country. Look at Iowa, Michigan, and PSU.
