Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThorns really did'nt draw the best players away from ECNL. Adding the 05 pool of players had a bunch of parents wondering if that is good enough to push player development for the 04's. Those 5's might be good in Oregon but when you are comparing those 05's with what is across this country from a talent stand point they are far off the mark.
Good luck to the DA players and pool.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOregon has players who gave up proms, other high school events, and Thanksgivings to travel, train and play on ODP National teams. They were top players. The DA and GDA is another opportunity for those involved.
When was the last time someone from Oregon was on a national team? Not camp but on the national team.

I don't have a dog in this fight. My kid is not a top player in Oregon. But I feel very strongly that the top players in Oregon will be "found" even if they choose to spend Thanksgiving with their families.

How many of them would do it all again, knowing where they ended up and where friends who didn't miss out on those events ended up?
