[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1194305, member: 7292"] It would be interesting but it is still an assumption (not a fact) that Thorne would had been granted a 6th year had he not played against Indiana. Ryan Squire had said mentioned that Thorne was eligible to apply for a sixth year, which some had interpreted as he would have been granted a 6th year. In contrast, Ryan Squire called the 6th year case for Abrams a "slam dunk." He did not say that for Thorne, pretty big difference. I still believe that the staff had doubts about the 6th year, thus tried to play Thorne with the hope that he would have responded better (injury wise) salvaging B1G season. It did not happen. If they felt really confident about the 6th year, it would have been just a dumb decision to risk (play) Thorne and potentially waste a whole year of eligibility. I think the decision to play him one game speaks volumes. I think there were doubts to begin with, and obviously now, having played against Indiana, there are even worse chances. Personally, I am not optimistic about Thorne returning, but that is JMO. [/QUOTE]
