Dick Vitale Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 I was watching a documentary on Ronnie Fields, a former Chicago HS phenom and teammate of Kevin Garnett at Farragut HS. What area player in you guys estimation, truly had high major college and/or pro potential, but never materialized for whatever reason? NOT saying that they failed, but just didn't reach their fullest potential as far as their talent went. Some may have even had decent college stints, but still hadn't reached their potential...For WHATEVER reason (i.e. injury, grades, attitude, etc.) I will start the list. In my opinion, there were a few that come to mind: Golden Corner, West Brook 01 Decarlos Frank, Ozen 10 Clarence Matthews, Central 03 Kelvin McKyer, PA Lincoln 91 Ryan Donahoe, Hardin Jefferson 07 Quote
Mamba Posted May 3, 2016 Report Posted May 3, 2016 Decarlos Frank i thought he couldve been a pro,if he has committed himself to the game Tyler Dixson, TexazBall, BADSANTA and 2 others 5 Quote

Willie was probably the best athlete on the floor, but he was definitely not skilled at basketball because he was a football player... Quote

Because I disagree with this statement... BADSANTA 1 Quote
