This is great news. Oregon will finally have a potential national team player. I look forward to watching such a phenom play. I do feel a bit sorry for whichever current favorite she bumps though. Considering how elite she is, and how weak the younger teams are, she must be playing one the 00/01 team. Playoffs here we come!

Which means those players are very aware that they are the ones who will be replaced by this phenom. That can't be a good feeling. But they signed up to play with the "best." And now they'll actually get that. Be careful what you wish for.
Players get cut from the Peregrine academies all the time. Part of high level soccer and part of being a pro or an aspiring pro.

Who I feel for are the remaining starters who used to shine but will now look anything but shiny. Leaving to have fun playing high school and winning state accolades all of a sudden moves up to a smart choice for every other top player on the team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostConsidering the cost of time and money and how restrictive Thorns are, getting bumped back to your neighborhood team will be the best thing for the girl that gets bumped. If you’re sitting on the bench for the Thorns academy, you’d be much better off playing somewhere else. Now, the new superstar will bench the worst starter though and that will be hard to swallow at first for that player.

No way she plays on one of our weak girls teams. How could that possibly help her goal of being the best female player ever in history. She’ll play on one of the Timbers DA teams so no need for any of the girls 00/01 players to worry.

Consider that once Ecnl and da started, Oregon has had zero national team camp players.
Prior to Ecnl and da there was at least 1 every 1-3 years.

I am not sure who orchestrated this publicity stunt but I don’t see it happening. Why in the world would she come to one of the worst programs in the country?

The good news is that this young teen is now a global brand. That also might be the bad news.

If this were strictly a player development driven decision, they would have stayed in the global hotbed of girls soccer - socal.
