What if when you jump up, at the same time, your opponent drops down. There will be that 1/4 second window.You're jumping and wrapping your legs around their waist. Even if they grip near your throat, the grip isn't going to be on same level after the jump, and you're probably also going to try a different grip to control the takedown.
When you have grips on your opponent, your opponent's intention can be sensed through your grip. When he tries to jump, his upper body will lean back.
