Houston Dynamo: MLS SuperDraft success because of contingency plans

The Houston Dynamo have enjoyed a successful offseason thus far.

Nonetheless, analysts and fans were quick to denounce their selections during the most recent Major League Soccer SuperDraft.

Sam Junqua was a late invite to the MLS Combine and no one thought that he would be selected in the first round. Nevertheless, Senior Vice President/General Manager Matt Jordan pulled the trigger on the University of California, Berkeley left-back, who made 68 appearances (45 starts) during his four-year collegiate career. Bobby Warshaw praised the Dynamo on the MLS broadcast for doing their own research and for having the bravery to go against conventional wisdom.
