#eagle #signing #mvp
So you may be thinking obviously Eagle is going to be signed with MVP it only makes sense but there are a lot of other factors at play that may make this actually a kind of crazy signing if it is with somebody else so with that let’s hypothesize who could be taking down Eagle all right so let’s go over briefly why does MVP seem like kind of a lock and why everyone thinks it is MVP obviously it’s going to be MVP so these signs definitely point to MVP because the way Eagle is talking it definitely seemed like brand new plastic a new feel
A welcoming presence it seemed like a lot of things were pointing to the new lineup for MVP disc they have a lot of over molds they have a lot of fun stuff to try they have obviously Simon so that would bring back the crush boys and it is definitely happening late in the
Season which probably will not happen with a smaller company it has to be somebody that can really afford Eagle so it does kind of feel like this has probably been in the works for a while now and a lot of people are saying well obviously Conrad has MVP Simon has Axiom
And streamline still has nobody essentially being their Flagship player and while I do think that kind of makes sense I also think looking at streamlines lineup there really is just not that much to it basically the top disc being Trace drift and pilot and I don’t even know if that’s like what
People would consider their top lineup because people don’t really talk about streamline all that much and then axom has a huge lineup With Envy time-lapses pyro and the hex which are definitely the Staples for Simon’s whole lineup and then if you count glitch which is I
Think MVP there is so much money being funneled to MVP with all of Simon’s Signature Series disc and so the idea of them being able to afford a person like Eagle is just extremely plausible is that 100% definitely not but all the science do point to it there’s a lot of
Rumors about it and especially looking at Conrad’s recent Seasons they have not been Stellar I don’t think he’s sold a lot even though he has like four or five Signature Series discs so there’s just a lot of potential for room to grow because it really can’t just be Simon
Like having one more player will really cement them as a top tier brand for many years to come but with that said they might just not have the budget like I I’m sure they made a lot of money and they can probably afford him but it
Might be a bit of a stretch and also one thing to note is that as an MVP player they make thought space they make mint so there’s definitely a potential for Eagle to not only throw all the MVP lineup but also TSA and mint so that
Would be insane if he was able to throw like five different brands which I really don’t think is probably too impactful for why Eagle would make this decision but it does give him more ability to be creative and figure out new shot shapes and figure out a whole
New way of playing disc golf compared to how he has been in the past because he did say he was so excited about trying new stuff and new plastic but the next company does seem like a bit of a stretch but the more that I think about
It the more I can definitely see it as a potential possibility and that is Discraft you may be thinking like they have that huge contract with Paul that’s like 10 years they have so many freaking players on their elite team and while that is true we might not see Peak Paul
For a year or two with his injury he has a lot of stuff going on with Family Foundation his course there’s just a lot of stuff at play so while Discraft does have Ezra they have Brody they have Adam hamus they have Chris they have AB they
Have Aaron gosage there is no real top player at the moment there are definitely people that can rise and shine like the Cory Ellis’s and win a major but there is no top Elite player there is just a lot of players that might potentially win one to two Tour
Series events throughout the year and that is definitely good but if you are someone like Discraft that has a lot of money to throw around it does seem like a potential possibility that we might get Eagle to sign with Discraft which in conjunction with everyone else on the
Team would probably give them as a company more wins than anyone else on tour for years to come and while Tour series wins aren’t really the end all Beall it definitely would potentially put them over the edge and make them bigger than Nineveh which is probably their ultimate goal and even though
Eagle is definitely not European he definitely represents a certain part of European disc golf because he has so much love from people in the Nordic States and a lot of people that were throwing dis Mania in Europe probably have a strong fondness towards Eagle so the idea that Discraft wants some of
That European presence is definitely a potential but to round it all off we have one crazy crazy acquisition if it were to happen if this was a bet this would probably be like 101 bet but you know anything is possible in the signing world and especially when it comes to
Top elite players Anything Can Happen looking back at when James signed with MVP everyone thought that was totally insane because they’re such a small company and now look at them being so mainstream so with that the last potential company is Casta blast this is probably a company that you have not
Really thought about all that much uh they did get bought out by house of disc they are a European based company they have great plastic I did notice that the recent blends of cast blast seem to be a little bit lower quality than what preferred in uh older runs but they
Definitely do have a lot of money that they could potentially throw at Eagle and it does kind of support the idea that eagle is going with latitude 64 because I think C blast is like under latitude 64 there’s a lot of things that play cuz house do owns all these Brands
And then latitude 64 I think owns cast plast I don’t really know but whatever they are in that General umbrella so I definitely think while it would be totally insane there are no top Elite Pros throwing Castle plast even though everyone loves them they have so much support and I definitely recommend if
You guys have not thrown cast plast yet you need to because it is truly the most premium brand I remember in 2020 I actually bought cast blast through a player it was like felt Shady because I had to like DM somebody on Reddit and then he sent me this which felt just
Bizarre but I’ve been throwing them ever since and I have been loving them and I’m sure Eagle is fully where that cast blast lineup is really really good and it might allow him to throw the rest of ltitude 64 if he wants to do that and
Like I said before there are no top Elite Pros on cast blast so getting a major name out there to support this brand and prop up everyone in the house of disc does seem like it might actually be what is going down but like so many people have pointed out if there’s smoke
There’s probably fire and with so much evidence going towards MVP it is most likely that we get the crush boys reunited at MVP but with that said do you guys have any thoughts about eagle joining cash blast or Discraft it would be totally insane but anything is
Possible so with that be sure to subscribe thank you so much for watching wild runs signing out Peace

Why say there is so much evidence when you have presented none other than what you speculate? I would very much like to see him sign with mvp however idk if they got the funds for his caliber but i could incorrect. I actually would hope im incorrect because that would be a sweet thing to see! Discraft and Kasta would make me disappointed to see tbh
I don't think he would be going to another House of Discs brand because he would have just stayed with Discmania, I'm thinking StreamLine
It’s possible Eagle could go to Infinite Discs and rejoin his buddy Eric Oakley. The amount of signature discs Eagle could create if Infinite lets him do something similar to Oakley would be very lucrative for Eagle. Other than McBeth, Oakley has the most signature discs in the game (Alpaca, Berg, Pathfinder, Dynasty, Spice, etc). Eagle could follow the same path. Signing Eagle could really take Infinite to the next level and be beneficial for both parties.
Apparently he just started following Streamline and MVP on instagram. For me that just about seals the deal. I don't Eagle is trolling anyone and he did accidentally leak his departure video, so it's not like he's the most savvy at keeping a secret online. MVP is growing and pushing to be one of the top 3 manufacturers. They're in a period of investing in their brand, and that's exactly what this is. I don't think a fat contract for Eagle is out of the cards for them at all, in fact, they need an Eagle McMahon to align with their growth.
I tbh think its discraft. It would be hilarious if it was.
Does he really want to be in Simon's shadow representing MVP's economy line discs?
Simon’s getting the band back together 😀.
Now all he needs is Casey, but I think Casey is his own man and will go this own way.
Simon said he was not allowed to throw tsa or mint, just axiom, mvp and streamline
The hype is gone for these players. It's getting kind of annoying with all of the back and forth. Disc golf isn't big enough for it to be that mysterious. It's between 2 or MAYBE 3 companies. Eitherway, the talk between GB and the rest has gone on long enough and I've lost interest. There needs to be more to talk about than theorizing where they are going.
Eagle to MVP, Gannon and Alden to Discmania done deal
I thought MVP until I started trying to wholesale for them. They have like 4 molds available at a time and it takes moooonnthhhs for restock. If they cant afford to make discs I doubt they can afford another top tier pro. But who knows. Personally I'm thinking Prodigy or Infinite.
I hope it's something wild like Kastaplast. I love their molds and their lines. Luke Sampson and Charlie Goodpasture are phenomenal throwers and I believe Eagle would be a great fit on the team.
Really hope its Discraft. That would be amazing.
Innova. 🤷♂️
