We all know all the players on the Thorns teams because they played with and against other Oregon girls until they switched to Thorns. No one is fooled that those players are suddenly superstars when they never were before, even in OYSA. Thorns did get several of Oregon’s top players but most never joined the Thorns and the best ones that did have mostly graduated or left. We know from the folks in CA that the new media circus show player is good but didn’t even dominate on her team down south nor is she now. We know all the other players, so we know Jesuit and the top 10 high schools would beat the Thorns u19 team. The top 5 HS teams would easily beat them and Jesuit would crush them. Everyone knows that and that is why the Thorns has a hard time filling rosters. No player wants to give up everything to go play on a team that is worse than the one they’re already on. Moreover, Thorns are located in Oregon but aren’t a part of Oregon soccer at all anymore so it doesn’t much matter. It looks like the individual thorns players are doing what they want and are doing just fine with similar college commits as Oregon’s OYSA and ECNL players so everyone is happy.
