Sigi Schmid opens up about young players with 'potential potential'

Sounders coach admits he's missed some talents along the way, but still has belief in the likes of Jordan Morris and Oalex Anderson.

Between Seattle's youngsters' somewhat underwhelming performances for the first team and S2's poor start, questions about the role of youth players in the organization's setup have been posed to Sigi Schmid quite a bit the past few days. On Monday, the Sounders coach stressed the importance of lowering expectations for players like Jordan Morris and Oalex Anderson. But the media hype around Morris is especially prominent because of how much the club and Sigi himself rates the player.
