They (Thorns) have hundreds of girls tryout each year for maybe 1 to 5 open spots on each of their 4 DA teams.
How much revenue do you want them to get for a token tryout to the masses especially when your chances are better at the winning mega-millions lottery than making a DA squad. re: 'more come out' statement
Thorns subsidize it, just like the boys Timbers DA: they (Thorns) have the best 50 to 60 girls in Oregon and SW Washington already in their program. Not a single girls who is in the top 10 players in the DA age groups is not 'coming out' because it means they would miss an 8 Week HS Rec season.
DA is rolling and they aint looking back.
This is called reality.

Fast forward to today and some of their teams even win more games than they lose in this post DA iteration.

Both the ECNL and the DA is the deep end of the pool (and should not be advised) for 95% of Oregon girls soccer players. Continuing to fight with one another over which is better is laughable. Both are way above your DDs talent level so it's a completely irrelevant argument.

That’s weird because Ecnl literally was gutted 75% of the best players left Last year...doesn’t help when the Ecnl teams in Oregon are terrible as well.

Care to retract your statement?
