Makes you know that things are changing. Even the latest attacking third podcast debating about if there should be NWSL age restrictions coming off of McKenna Whitham becoming the youngest to enter an official match should tell you the future will be different.

More money is coming into the women's side of the game, there will be a pipeline to pro for the girls side. NWSL doing away with the college draft, if you pull girls from college they're older than when they could have actually began training and assimilaging into a pro environment.[/quote]

There were age restrictions.  They were deemed illegal and removed.  The MLS does not have age restrictions, why should NWSL?  [/quote]

They shouldn't. But the point is that across the world, younger players are introduced to the pro/true academy environments at younger and younger ages, deservedly so. This will happen here as well, as the system evolves the ages will get younger on the women's side. Players like Whitham may be the exception but you'll likely see a lot more scenarios like Trinity Rodman. Doesn't go to college, gets to play in the NWSL for a few years and then heads overseas.[/quote]
