2007 MLS Rookie Of The Year....Maurice Edu

As many expected Maurice Edu was named the 2007 Rookie of the Year by MLS today. His only real competition was Dane Richards who's speed terrorized MLS defenses all season. This is the first time in history where the SuperDraft #1 pick has won the award. Let's hope this means league coaches are getting better at scouting as opposed to Mo Johnston and his staff getting completely lucky. Edu looks like his star will continue to rise with this award adding to his first US National Team Cap. Should Edu's rise continue don't be surprised to see him follow past MLS ROTY winners to Europe (Demspey, Ralph, Bocanegra and soon Parkhurst if Internet rumors are trusted.)
