Freddy Adu seems to be the most obvious. Many are talked about as possibly being one of the greats and don't pan out for various reasons. Adu didn't have health issues or drug problems or anything like that. He just wasn't ever even close.
American development, or lack thereof, is what did him in.

I don't deny the faults with our developmental system, but that certainly doesn't explain everything. We have produced plenty of players better than Adu.

naw
his physical development (and attitude) did him in
he was very small and very slow. he couldn't play wing b/c he was way too slow to be a threat and he didn't have the physicality to play more inside as a CAM. he can still dribble well and pass well and has moments of brilliance, but he cannot stack up to any real competition b/c of his physical limitations
