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

I would love to see Jay try Aleah as the leadoff on floor and force the judges to do their job and judge a routine based on the routine itself and not punish it because of its spot in the lineup. With Aleah, it is gonna make them choose are they REALLY gonna deny the best floor in the nation high scores just because she is leadoff? or, because she is Aleah and has that rep now of being the best, will they judge correctly?

Konnor's floor last year is proof judges more or less hard cap the leadoff spot and don't give the early spots the scores it deserves. Her floor has been anchor worthy, yet her scores outside of the first week were she got a correct 9.975 were all way lower than they should be based on the merit of the routine.

Kaliya should probably be anchoring. Using her in leadoff is leaving money on the table.
