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

It seems some of our beamers have actually regressed, unfortunately. Also none were truly developed - Alexis came from UCLA with a side aerial on her beam routine and somehow they thought the standing front tuck was a better option. Beard has Christina Desiderio potential on that event and we know she's been healthy for a while now, but also was never really developed. It's hard, because other than Konnor and Haleigh, every routine on this lineup has a clear issue that has not been addressed when it should have (Kiya's leap series choice, Sierra's dismount mainly, etc.). You almost need a miracle to have a 100% hit lineup starting off of that on paper. Savannah brought a decent beam routine from Florida that also should have been cleaned up a little and would be great to go.

Regarding Cowan, she came in mostly for her bars, so she has always been good on that event. At least there Jay did a good job sticking to what she knows and not try to force, I don't know, a bail to hs on that routine. She had a full twisting DLO as a dismount and I'm super glad they dumped that too, in favour of something she can stick consistently.
