Your story is changing and still makes no sense.

Very few players have a guaranteed starting role, Matt Jones started on a NC team and may not start as a senior. If Thornton needed a certain amount of minutes to stay then he left on his own, he wasn't forced out.

And again, why would they do that to Thornton when they could have forced out much lesser players?

It doesn't work with "lesser" players:

K: Hey, benchwarmer, you are not going to play next year.
Player: Yeah. I know. All good.

But, it does work with highly recruited players:

K: Hey, Thornton, your minutes are going to go down next year.
Thornton: shite. That doesn't work for me. I need to get to the league. I need minutes.

P.S. To be fair, Cal did the same thing to Ryan Harrow. Harrow claims he transferred to be closer to his sick father. Not true. He had the exact conversation with Cal that Thornton had with Coach K.
