I would imagine most pros are willing to hear what another company has to offer regardless of what their current intentions are. I'd like to see Vinny stick with Innova, but I would guess DD will be trying hard to go after him. DD has virtually no representation at the top and Calvin could be their torchbearer. He's pretty good friends with Eric Oakley as well from what I gather.
Just look at the companies represented on the lead card yesterday. You've got the big dogs in Innova and Discraft, but even MVP and Lat64 are being represented. DD is nowhere to be found even going down several more cards. MVP's investment in Conrad is paying huge dividends in terms of exposure. DD desperately needs to secure a top 10, or even top 5, player.
Every year there is talk about DD snagging a big name and it never happens. I don't think they will put the resources into what it would cost to get a superstar like Heimburg. I don't think he's all that close with Oakley either, but he is friends with Zach Melton. However having friends on the team doesn't seem to mean much anymore.
