      That would be an improvement over most of the clubs in the Thornz Asylum's division of GDA.

        Wupdeedoo. I'm sure Thorns will represent Oregon well.

            This is why the Thorns do what they do (example-tryout fees). This last statement is so misleading. The article is obviously about GDA but they want to add how many full scholarships the DA clubs provide. 85% of these scholarships are from the BOYS side.

            So Deceptive.

                Thus will bump thornz to third tier.

                  I don't think any of the top clubs are playing in the gda league in NorCal. Why would they want to travel to play weak teams like Oregon?

                      Exactly the uphill battle and angst that CU & FC P face in the their current league for all states and clubs that get scheduled to play a match in Oregon. They (current clubs) all ask US Club Soccer why do we have to travel to play teams that are so bad? Great point.

                        GDA will be mostly B league.

                            Looks like a pretty good way to recruit some of those awesome players that don't have the money that is required to play in most of the advanced leagues. Pretty smart move. Now they are drawing from a new pool of players with potential.

                              Should be true but it's the same pool. Majority returning Thorns Academy players, a bunch of Westside players and a few Ecnl players. Hopefully in the future.
