As someone who coaches three rec teams in the suburbs I think i have many of the answers, but I keep them to myself for now.

Very Simply----THEY DON'T PLAY ENOUGH to be great players! MOST great athletes develop without many distractions---American Youth have the BENEFIT of more distractions...certainly, white boys have more recreational alternatives than black boys. I suspect that many of these foreign players are in situations with few alternatives to their main sports interests.
