most notable signing since Freddy Adu at the age of 14 back in 2003


How'd that work out?

For Freddy? Not great.

For MLS? Awesome. It was a nice novelty in the present which the league desperately needed to capture some attention and, in the time since, MLS teams have been a lot more willing to give 15 and 16 year olds full pro contracts, accelerating the development of the American player and opening the door for European teams to continue that devel once they turn 18.
