Carrizo is the next Freddy Adu at best. Someone like Endrick in soccer rather.

 

[Dingleberry]

Arch Manning could be the most hyped football prospect ever

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

I didn't realize Coco was expected to be that good

Did you include Maximo to appease the Americans who frequent Hf?

Don't think anyone in Europe really knows about him, and imo, there are bigger "phenoms" running around in Europe and South America.

I remember talk about her winning the 2019 US Open at the age of 15. She's no longer even eligible to make the list of the 10 youngest Grand Slam winners.

Don't worry, we don't care about him either

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Endrick for football, not this Carizzo guy.

 

[Jack Straw]

Carlos Alcaraz is 19 and won the US Open last year. First of what is likely to be many majors.

But he is not Boris Becker.

But he is not Boris Becker.

Hopefully not, for his sake.

She’s not. Ridiculous to include her in this talk, wow.
