Simply Marvell-ous

Marvell Wynne is a classy, level-headed guy. If anyone can make the most of an unexpected trade, it's Marvell.

That doesn't mean there wasn't some disappointment involved. After all, at one point, Chivas USA held the number one pick in the 2006 draft, and Wynne was hoping to stay in his home state of California. He adjusted to New York, though, and I'm sure he'll do the same with Toronto.

The move might be hardest on his mom, according to what he told me.

"When I was drafted, I thought, 'Yeah, I’ll be far from home, but I’m in New York. It’s going to be fun.' Now I’m thinking, 'Well, I’m not going too far from New York, but I am going farther from home.' But I’ve heard that Toronto is a nice place. I called my mom about the trade and she was 'You’ve got to be kidding me. You’re going even farther away? I didn’t even know that was possible. They just added this team and now you’re going?' She was sad to see me leave. She is excited for me, but she wishes it was a little bit closer, not a little bit farther."

Marvell is the Man

Marvell Wynne's nickname when he was on the U20 team was Man-Child. I liked the originality, but part of it never seemed to fit, mostly because Wynne didn't act very childish, despite his young age. He just acts a bit like an old soul.
