Explains a lot. One of his players is absolutely worthy. The other................(think of the one with the crazy parent). But with him it is always about politics.

If anyone has a complaint it is one of his own players. The center back is far and away one of the best players. Not flashy but always gets the job done.

The crazy parent is TA's personal recruiter for thusc of coarse he is going to take care of her. The girl is good though. Both thusc players 2 of the 3 players selected are good, but there was 6-8 others just as good though. TA is a snake you are either with him or against him and of coarse he is going to take care of his which coach would not. That's why there is no room for local club inclusion in the process with the exception of nomination to camp. Flawed system.

Congrats to all of the players! Make Oregon proud!

Who were the three selected

[Unregistered]

2 from THUSC
1 from vanc timbers

They only had 3 spots to award which is another problem with the process.

You could have for example 6 prospective national players but they can only award 3 spots at that pdp center. Now throw in the fact that you have the coaches and doc's of certain girls giving the evaluations makes for a bad system of identification. Would it not make more sense to have completely neutral national reps at these centers and award as many spots as needed. It really is an easy fix.

Agree the players were deserving. But there were made and the teams should have been mixed and blended throughout the tryout and never happened. There were 00 players and sub par 99 players that had no Reason to even be there and really became a henderence. There was a lot of things that could have been done different to allow all the payers to show. I also agree that coaches and doc's should make recommendations but then the outside evaluators should run the camp.

Reality was that there were about 6 players that had a real chance to make the cut.

The rest were invited to help promote ID2 and gain the experience.

The players are more or less selected before the camp. You are not going to make the selection based on watching a kid play for 3 hours.

Even club tryouts are 2 or 3 sessions.

You are correct! There was only 6-8 girls there that could or would make the cut. Start with the 99 regional holdovers. The only complant is TA did not have a hand in the selection process for state or regional selections. It was done by non bias selection based on play, ability and potential. I think that everyone agrees any of the 6-8 are all at te same level of play and that if it would have been a different coach from another club running the process the results could have been varied. Not saying the girls selected dont belong because they do but the others are at the same level and did get the extra hand in the process. Fix the problem and dump the clubs out of the process.

I don't know why you would say players were selected before the camp. I watched the whole id2 tryout and saw Gabe Rood in observance of the players. He didn't say a word, but watched like a hawk. I do believe he has/had the final say.

If they only had 3 spots to award, the correct 3 were chosen....

I find it hard to believe that TA and Thusc would be political in the process and that players would be chosen based upon some agenda. But then again, I own two bridges and am in process of buying some swampland.

In that age group, Onyx is by far the strongest team with the most talent.

Out of the top 8 girls, probably 5 would be from Onyx.

It is almost a liability for a player to be from THUSC because they could have filled up the 3 spot with all THUSC players, but cannot do that because other parents and coaches would crap their pants. Not saying that the Timber's player deserved the spot, just saying that you could arguable say that the top 3 players at the clinic were with Onyx.

I'm an Onyx parent and I disagree with that. The Vancouver player deserves a spot and the girl from Sherwood is also very talented.

Dream on. There are 3 maybe a 4th on onyx. Then there is yes the 2 vt girls, the Westside girl, the salmon creek girl, the girl from south side. They are all very good players and all deserving of going on. I think as said earlier just look at the 99 regional holdovers and there is your pool of players, the vt girl did WA side. They are all very close in ability and all on any other day depending on format of training and evaluators been chosen. Lets move on now.

4th on Onyx
One of the VT girls is now with Onyx

That would make 5 out of 8.

That is not even with me telling you that the girl for Southside and Westside are not that good. The girl from Eugene is better then both of these players.
