If Prodigy does land Thomas they will have a nice little team going. Dickerson, KJ, to a lesser extent Cale and love him or hate him Luke Humphries. I could also see Thomas going to DD though

I like him, but have heard a few people say they don't. Specifically, after the KJ ace where he slipped. Heard a few people say humphries didn't care about KJ's well being and if he was okay, and was only focused on the shot. I don't blame him for that, as it was an amazing shot and some people may just be laser focused on that line the whole way through. Also, a guy in my league was annoyed how he kept saying "get in the bucket!" That seemed to me to be more of a general dislike for his style/persona/character. I don't agree with that either, but if you are someone who thinks disc golf has too much of a hippie image, Luke probably isn't your favorite.

I'm not a fan. He was 998-rated and still playing MA1, which is well into sandbagging territory. Yes I know he's allowed to, but it doesn't mean I don't think less of him. He lets his dog run around the course without a leash and made a show of not wearing a mask into a convenience store in one of their videos. Comes off as a very selfish guy.

I don't enjoy his work on the OTB Skins series, but I enjoy his commentary "in the booth" for actual tournament coverage. From what little I've seen him play, he seems like a pretty professional dude in that setting, too.

Hate is too much emotional energy to waste on someone like him. I find him incredibly unlikable though.

Sure
James Conrad.... Switching to MVP????
Not sure if you guys have heard the grumblings of this rumour, but there are a few things to back it up...
His van was spotted outside of MVP headquarters... Also, basically all of the other pro's have announced contract extensions... Except for Conrad.
He also recently posted online that he'd be increasing his social media presence, which is unlike him... But moving to a new sponsor would be a good reason why.
It would be REALLY crazy to see him throwing completely new discs, and from a company that doesn't really have any huge names on their roster yet. Not to mention, their putter game is on point, so it would be VERY interesting to see JC throw an Envy or Ion.
Obviously this is still purely speculation....
Thoughts?

If it's true, I think it's a smart move for MVP and Conrad. Regardless of my feelings towards their representatives, they make some incredible throwing putters, and there's no one on tour that throws putters so frequently. If Feldberg can transition away from Blackie, Conrad will be just fine putting his Aviar in storage.
And I think it's kind of crappy for people to not recognize Sarah Hokom or Elaine King as big names. They are world champions after all, and isn't Hokom ranked #3 amongst women currently?

This part is appropriate for the discs forum
I think the Aviar is a completely unremarkable disc in all its iterations. I have little doubt he could crush an Ion. More likely an Anode though if we are replacing an Aviar?? Honestly my favorite throwing putter from MVP is the Atom, and I bet he would do really well with a stack of those.

Sounds about right.
That said, Conrad would have to be the biggest name in MPO to be sponsored by them.

Conrad might motivate MVP to go ahead and manufacture some discs.

Both of his Instagram accounts got hacked? That's wild.
