He almost came back from 7-0 down against Shane. Final was 9-7. Kid is good.
The young man has terrific rhythm, tempo, and composure.
His future looks very promising.

Agreed!
Reminds me of Johnny Archer. Sure is headed that way.
The kid is the total package. I was impressed. Missed 1 ball up the long rail to tie it 8-8, after being down 0-7 to Shane.
You mean a slow playing, lint picking, stiff artist nit? Hopefully the kid sets his bar higher than Archer.
Young phenom players I always want to wait and see how they play when they realize they don't have to win. What I mean by that is that younger players play with a naivete that gives them a mental advantage. I don't wanna take anything away from him. He's doing great and will likely have a bright future.
I agree with both you and Jaden. Player development isn’t linear and in all sports you see the best junior isn’t necessarily the best college player and the best college player doesn’t necessarily become the best pro. Tiger Woods and others who were great at every level notwithstanding. BUT…obviously the kid plays great and has ability. He very well could turn out to be great if he keeps improving and doesn’t burn out. It is good to see some young Americans who play well and have potential. But a lot can happen in the 7 years from 14-21.
I haven't seen him play but he sounds like a great player already.
True but he could also be the next Corey. Few wanted to gamble that kid when he hit the scene. Like you said, we won't know how the story ends until it does. No other young player in the states is currently showing as much promise. I hope he keeps it together and becomes the next Captain America.
Watched his SVB match and the kid is awesome. I loved watching his comeback even though he lost. His cue ball control is impressive! Oh to be young and dumb again…
They stand out, they attract attention, heavy minds included. There's that trick with the grape seeds and champagne. They sink, collect gas, rise, lose the gas, sink again etc... You see a different but similar effect bubbling soup too. There simply isn't enough room on the surface.
Prodigies rise to their place and most fade back into normalcy without falling to the treachery. Some are denied their greatness outright. Many change horses for better lives.You mean a slow playing, lint picking, stiff artist nit? Hopefully the kid sets his bar higher than Archer.
No way to peg social dynamics.
