I think the prodigy boys will drive a lot of the offseason moves. Alden would be a great pick up for just about anybody. Lot of young talent that you'd have to assume was signed to shorter term and fairly inexpensive deals. I think during various interviews pretty much all of them have implied they like playing for Prodigy and feel loyal for taking a chance on them early…but we all know money talks.
Clemons is interesting. At this point he's a tour veteran, pretty solid but not top tier elite talent but will pop off a couple times a year with top 5 finishes. I know everybody was surprised Oakley left DD, maybe they're gonna trim their team either as directed by HoD or to free up money for another larger signing.
I think he'd be a good value signing for somebody, maybe he'll go the same route and do a mixed sponsorship like Oakley. I know it shouldn't matter, but I could see a manufacturer wanting a lefty promoting plastic…maybe a couple models that would get some extra love that don't otherwise.
Side note about mixed sponsorships. Dave Mac at Gateway had talked about that being the future like 10+ years ago. Now that they've got some more consistent premium plastic blends and some newer molds that supposedly fly great I'd love to see somebody on tour throwing some of their stuff.
