Girl's understand that their end game is college. The ROI is getting into the right school, hopefully getting part of it paid for, and having a good career after college. They are not 28 years old and playing for the Spartans and hoping to one day get picked up by a professional club.

Fact remains they all played at the Timbers DA, 2 played at Westside and the other at FC prior. Girls clubs around here have no such high level collegiate players to boast about. In reality the fact title ix just gives more opportunities to girls, doesn't mean they are any good or way above the norm, just needed. Supply and demand. Extrapolating this quirk as a measure of quality of the player, club or league is laughable, it's just basic economics.

Timbers academy taking credit for foster langsdorf from wash t and two other Akron players who played at wash t and westside is utter nonsense and it just further emphasizes the lack of respect and quality the Timbers academy has.
Starting a club at u17-u18 is near babysitting compared to an education he and every other players gets up to that time.
Stanford women's won a national title also and they have a wash t player as well.
Know something before you speak.

It is very competitive to get in these schools and you do what you can to get an edge
From your tone, I don’t think you have any experience with getting in a competive school.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostActually the opposite, getting into the best of the best colleges is HIGHLY COMPETITIVE and they want top well rounded students, not kids hoping for a roster spot as a side angle for entry. But, if the student athlete is off the charts for athletics the coach can lobby the admin. But, coaches don't lobby for kids just to fill up a roster, as the school has better candidates available and players like that (filler) aren't that tough to come by.
