Thought Dyachenko (technically Washington) had the goods as well, but hasn't had quite the pro career that those other guys have.

I wonder what those same haters have to say about the DA and the Academy?

Is it possible we went down the wrong road?
Maybe there is something to be said for all teams playing each other.

Instead of today when the teams who think they will be elite sign up for elite leagues, and never play other local teams.

It would be better though if all the clubs played each other instead of what we have now. The original split didn't make that big of a difference because the dominant clubs were together for the most part. Now that's obviously not the case. Making matters worse is the DA and now ECNL and Thorns Academy because that is effectively creating a three way split: OYSA, OPL, and Academy/ECNL and there aren't enough players to support all three.

Nice to know that he was not developed here and even more profound that now the age of player development plateau's at the age of 14.
Genius!

She also had quite a bit of help from this relatively unknown coach when she was growing up. You may have heard of him. I think his name was Clives Charles.
Nice try.
Clive had nothing to do with her Development just like Danny Mwanga who arrived here at 14 they were finished products, right? LOL

Erik Hurtado
His name has been thrown into the discussion, which is great.
Fact is he is one that didn't 'develop' until after his freshman year in HS.
It seems like people on this forum like to re invent history to suit their opinion.
Hurtado was not relevant or 'special' until around his 16th birthday. (True)
Mwanga arrived in Oregon at age 14 but was already developed. (False)
Tiffany Millbrett began playing at University of Portland at at 18/19 and then became developed because Clive Charles was the coach. (False)
Chad Barrett was developed in California (False)
Rubio is the best ever (False).
Spin it any way you like-- these kids or now adults call themselves Oregonians.
We should be proud of them regardless of our petty and sophomoric biases.
