Kyle Nakazawa is way too talented to be playing NCAA ball. He can shine in MLS in no time. I hope the Galaxy nab him before he is snapped by some European team. I would love to see him go to Argentina for a year or two to hone his skills. He can be the midfield ace we haven't developed yet. He can be our Pablo Aimar.
