We picked up 4 more players to try out in the pre-season: Los Angeles Galaxy (4): D – Michael Gavin (Portland University), GK – Charles Alamo (Univ. of California-Riverside), D – Greg Folk (UCLA), F/M – Daniel De Geer (University of San Francisco) Don't know anything about any of them. Anybody else got any info?
Good move 'drafting' Greg Folk. He's having a go overseas(German passport), and has trials with Walsall and Wolves in England. There is probably a decent chance that he will end up back in the US in a few months, and the Galaxy have his rights. Had he gone to the combine he probably would have been a second round draft pick, he's a good defender. The rest, I have no idea about.
Seems like a decent chance that Charles Alamo will make the team. Buzz has this on him: Surely somebody's know's this player or has seen him play. Seems like a good fit for our #3 keeper.
Well, while I'm at it. Buzz has this on the LA Galaxy 2008 #1 draft pick (supplemental).: Defender. #56. Michael Gavin Portland Sr 5′10″ 2007 WCC 2nd Team. 2004 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year as a left back.
And last and who knows if least ... 64 Daniel DeGeer San Francisco Sr 5′9″ 155 2007 WCC First Team. Only a starter his senior year. Hard working wide player.
