re: LSU Gymnastics Recruiting Thread (2024 and 2025 Recruiting Classes)

That was the absolute best I have seen this look in the pre-season. I mean I knew we would have depth, but that is astounding. If this isn’t the year, then it’s going to be hard to ever get there. I so believe in this team. Based on tonight, my best case, end of year lineups are:

Vault: Haleigh, Kiya, Konnor (Double), Amari, Savannah, and Chase (Aleah if her landings are good, but we may not need her in this lineup). Hate to leave KJ out of it because her full is beautiful, but it has to be 10.0 starts this year.

Bars: Bryant, Savannah, Cowan, Konnor, Jeffrey, and one of Aleah/livvy/Kiya (I love Kiya on bars, and her set always looks great to me but she struggles to get above a 9.8). My guess is it will probably be Aleah but the dismount is generally a tenth, so if there is another option, then maybe rest her here and go with that

Beam: Annie, Livvy, Konnor, Haleigh, Kiya, Aleah (love KJ here if she can get consistent with that back tuck leap series and would switch her with Livvy)

Floor: Kiya, Haleigh, Aleah, Amari, Konnor, and Chase (if Chase has consistency issues, then Sierra, Livvy)

What do y’all think? And there is huge amount of depth to use through the season (Koen on beam/floor, Livvy on beam/floor, the various other 1.5s on vault, Tatum/alyona/Livvy on bars, Savannah on beam/floor, etc)

I am so excited for this year!
