with out a doubt Wu will be the top player, not "a" top player, but "The" top player.
nobody from america has a chance, do disrespect but Wu has more natural talent, plane and simple.

Brenden Crockett
I'll say Brenden Crockett also. He has a lot of potential for someone who
has been playing only a couple of years.

I took a weekend course with Stan about a year ago and had the chance to play Landon a few racks of nine ball (I had my chances but he won every game -damnit - lol). He is a good person and really has a passion for this game. I watched him work on his break and he was absolutely smashing the balls - Stan was proud, but all Landon could say is THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH DAD I HAVE TO HIT THEM HARDER. I would have been really happy hitting the balls like that. He will be a top level player one day with a very good family backing him up. Keep up the good work Landon and Stan.
Never heard of this kid how old is he where from etc.
thesleeve you must be a bad dude to have the with your name thesleeve.
Well you must be one bad dude to have "real" in front of your name.
i thought you knew
ill tellem lol
You got that right!!! Thought you knew...
My vote goes to a 22 year old from Long Island named Erin McManus. The only thing that could potentially ruin it for her is her health issues.
Just remember to study your math and science, that will serve you much better in the future
Nah, Luther Lassiter didn't know no math or science and he ran hundreds.
As good as Landon plays, I do not believe he will get there - no disrespect intended. If you watch him play, it is pretty clear that he is a manufactured, not a natural, talent. He has a ceiling, therefore, that the naturals don't and will rise above. But he is a very good player for his age, no doubt about that. He could beat me. :smile:

Some good picks posted already for the 20 somethings.
Among the youngsters I agree that Brendan Crockett (turns 14 this year), if he stays with it, may develop into a world class player. I played him in the Swanee earlier this year and managed to send him to the loser's side in the first round, but I wouldn't look forward to drawing him again. He still made two rounds deep into the money and it took Jose Parica to knock him to the rail. He placed third in the BCAPL Nationals 8 Ball Championships in May ($2,700) in the Mens Player Member Singles out of about 130 entrants (played on 7 footers, but still). He's a very nice, respectful, well mannered and mature kid that has an even keel temperament that should serve him well. He is coached by Sal Butera.

Yep, could not agree more!
I'm surprised that no one has atleast mentioned Ryan Stone yet. The one thing about Ryan, which is in no way a negative, is that he's in college and takes that pretty serious right now. In terms of talent, he's a bad mofo.
Not sure if this is the kid but I was told about a 15-16 year old in the Philippines that is looking like the next Efren.
