This is a structural thing, if a player was special in Oregon, the current US Soccer setup mandates that our local club player be sent up to the only DA's in our area: the MLS Timbers or NWSL Thorns. They (US Soccer Scout) would never expect a local neighborhood club to keep a kid playing in a US Club league or USYS league vs the local club promoting them to the elite MLS or NWSL Academy. That would be pretty disingenuous and self serving of the local club/coach and disregard the kid's potential and growth.
So of course they weren't scouting the local clubs, why would they?
