Alfords daddy got his feelings hurt cause Lemonis told him Alford to move on, which EVERYONE here agrees needed to happen, so him and the Dulins guy decided to talk DJ into entering the portal and telling us a CRAZY amount to stay to try and bend us over. Like I said, from what I gather, Lemonis is still working to keep the kid, but we aren’t dropping anywhere close to 7 figures on a kid for 1 more year of service nor should we.
If I remember correctly, Skenes and Tommy White didn’t get halft that between the 2 of them.
