Nick, Caleb, and Nathan hop in their time machines to reflect on the wonder-kids & potential superstars from years past who sadly never lived up to their lofty potential. The trio dive deep into the variety of circumstances, including injuries, personal struggles, cultural disconnect, (and being Dutch?), that prevented promising talents such as Mario Balotelli, Freddy Adu, Holger Badstuber, Ola John, and so many others from becoming global superstars. Join us for our first conceptual episode as the crew attempt to build the Unfulfilled Promise XI.
