The inevitable 2020 Pros switching sponsor/DD hate thread

[biscoe]

I'm just entertained by the photo of Chris Hysell putting at an old DISCatcher with the Innova barstamp logo lined up like it's an Innova publicity shot.

He had both shoulders replaced in 2019. Hopefully will be back on the course soon so I can go back to recouping the thousands of dollars I have lost to him over the years.

I've never heard of a shoulder replacement. I hope he's on the mend.

Any Joe Bishop updates?

Still eligible for DGPT and NT events...

He was in the Elite team for 2019, but it looks like he will not be for 2020.
He was touring with Big Jerm, so he might join Innova. This could make sense as he is from the Charlotte area, and this was one of the reasons why Bir Jerm made the move to Innova.

Or he found a job.

For FPO, this was why I brought up Catrina. With no FPO in the team Austin Hannum and the fact that she was part of team Discraft before, I would think it would give some reasons to Discraft to sponsor her.

This made me laugh. Unless your McBeth or a few other players, touring must be a hard sell. Sure it would be fun to travel the country playing this game but it would be even cooler to have a decent 9-5 + crush all your local B-Tiers on the weekends.

Next Crush Boy Oskari Vikström (16-year old 2019 Finnish MPO Champion) has been promoted to Discmania Tour Team and got his contract extended to 2021.

Not buying it....
My guess is Infinite, Mixed/Gateway, or Prodigy.

You're part of a Trilogy FB group?
I'm doubling down on not buying it...

Wow did NOT see that coming

 

[Streets]

Say what you will about Nikko...dude keeps things interesting.

 

[jvphobic]

Funny, why would I lie about something like that? I am not one to spread false statements. Unlike some people here, I actually have a public facing side. I can't post anonymous BS.

Nikko to Westside is interesting.

Aside from him being sponsored, you have any more details...like is it a mixed bag kind of thing? I remember back in the day Barsby did a Legacy/Westside sponsorship for awhile.

 

[dwayne.hoffman]

Nikko to Westside...namebrand recognition, access to three lines of discs, and on the surface at least, preserves the DD and L64 brands while having top tier talent on Westside strengthening that brand. This might be one of the genius moves of the year to date.

 

[mistabman]

I may be mistaken, but I think he joins Emerson Keith as the highest rated Trilogy players (both 1028).

 

[TheOtherBill]

Does Westside have a Wizard in their line up?

 

[jvphobic]

We don't have many details yet. He is slated to be on the podcast tomorrow where we can ask him more questions.
