Somebody from Taiwan! I am sure that there are many world beaters there who are under 21. Just look at Wu- won the World Championship but failed to win the Junior World Championship. Lost to another Taiwanese player.
 
Takayama and Revo from the Philippines, 18 and 17 years old and shoot around Max Eberle's speed now. Takayama beat Pagulayan 9-2 in one local tourney.
I haven't seen the Taiwanese kids so I can't comment but am sure there are plenty of future champs there too.
 
19 year old Justin Bergman is going to be one of if not the best USA player very soon.

Ditto.

I would also add:

Landon Shuffett.

Nick Tafoya.

Then there is a 21 year old player name Jasmin Ouschan ...

I'm waiting for her to qualify for the men's WPC... lol

I think she'd do very well... she might even win the whole thing if she gets the rolls!

As the Dutch Youth Coach I have always an extra interest in young players all over the world.

In Europe we have lots of great young players at the moment:
Albin Ouchan (little brother of Jasmin) Austria
Ruslan Chinakov Russia
Artem Kosshovyy Ukrain
Novosad Ukrain
Nicolas Otterman (Germany)

In Holland we have some talents working their way up:
Roy Gerards
Pepijn de Wit
Marc Bijsterbosch

In Taiwan is "little" Wu now 3 year champion in a row (also beating big Wu) and Hsu

Pinoy's have Revo

USA have Justin Burgman and Canada John Morra and Jason klatt

Hayato Hijikata (Japan)

And their is so many unspotted talent walking on this planet!!
 
John Morra

Justin Bergman

Landon Shuffett

Austin Murphy


But none of these players are a lock, look at what happened to one of the best JR players (in my mind anyways Shane McMinn). What ever happened to him?

21 is in his rear view mirror
 
tallking about talented players who didn't stick around, what about tyler strawn?? I watched him play 3 straight years in jr nationals, winning I believe 2 of them. Then played him in Olathe at a midwest 9 ball event, and the kid was amazing. Heard he don't even play nemore.
