Over the last two years, 24 girls from the Thorns academy have committed to colleges, including eight in the class of 2019 to the likes of the University of Oregon and Stanford, according to the club’s website (www.port landthornsacademy.com.)
“I want to help each of our athletes maximize their potential and reach their dreams and be in an environment that’s conducive to development,” Schott, the academy director, says. “That’s the goal for us.””

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe poster who knows the family should let them know about the lie that is being perpetrated in their daughter’s name. I certainly wouldn’t want my kid saying they’re on a college soccer team that they aren’t. This whole thing blew up because of the UCLA girl that wasn’t on the team!
Do you know anything about her? Was the verbal rescinded by the Stanford coach, or did the girl simply decide to focus on academics and forego college soccer? (Being a student-athlete at Stanford, which is both an athletic powerhouse and an academically elite institution, is VERY hard to do; I wouldn't blame her one bit if she decided to put the books ahead of the boots).

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostStanford soccer, even as water girl, was never offered. Great student and nice girl but didn’t even play much on the academy team. Both parents also went to Stanford so it’s surprising they would let Thorns put a lie about her on their website. Regular students apply and are “admitted”. Only recruited athletes are “committed”. Thorns are definitely presenting and perpetuating a lie using her good name. Now the Bend newspaper has unwittingly spread that lie even further. Sad. If she and her parents aren’t demanding it be taken down or noted that it’s just as a student only, then they are complicit at this point. That would be even sadder.
