NWSL scouts had a real presence among the college scouts.

My thoery (which is somewhat proven to be correct): the girls training today in high school are just as good if not better than the girls who have been in NWSL for three or four years.

When Korbin went to ND, I was with her the day she received her "lifting packet" from the program explaining the off season weight lifting regime she should follow.

My daughter, now a sophomore in high school, has been doing a lifting regime likely as challenging if not more since she was in 8th grade. Most of the girls on her team have been doing so as well.

This generation of girls - especially 2007 and 2008 birth years represent a turning point in how the youth program girls have come up - the top ones are ready for NWSL and can consider skipping college. They've been doing the work.
