Daniel Cruz to Dynamo with 41st overall pick; Hermann Award winner in 4th Round

Great move by the Dynamo to snag this GA midfielder in the 3rd round. Here is the college bio on Cruz. A little short at 5'8"-5'9" but it seems that the U-20 USMNT player has a high ceiling. The youngest Generation Adidas player available, the Glendale AZ native just turned 19 on January 3rd, so the Orange are getting someone that they can bring along slowly either at ACM or forward. Great story about Danny's unusual soccer career here.

EDIT: The Dynamo surprised a few people with their 4th round pick - Hermann Trophy winner Marcus Tracy. Yes, the same Marcus Tracy that looked horrible in the NCAA Championship game. And the same Marcus Tracy that looked like another player with two first names in the Semi-Final game (OK - maybe not him ...). And yes, the same Tracy that has been linked to Danish side Aalborg. If he leaves, the Dynamo wasted a 4th round pick. If he stays, this could be highway robbery.
