Re:Injury status of KJ, Kiya, and Kai

I think it is extraordinarily unlikely that Kai ever competes as a tiger again, which is not to take away from her leadership on the team.

KJ, I think will have been able to be fully healed, so I am not concerned there. I also think they have had good luck with achilles repairs (see eg McKenna), so hopefully they have a good plan there for Kiya (e.g., holding her on floor til midseason)

I also forgot Cammy Hall in these lineups - so another 1.5 there and her floor. I expect she would see some competition time at some point.

Man - Jay is scarred from last season and was like I will never have as little depth as I had last year. He just said everyone come on, lol.

I don't have a good sense of how the freshmen fit in, as I understand Coen hasn't consistently competed in several years and i am not familiar with the others.

I also was remiss in not putting Jeffrey in my beam line up - I think if they can get rid of the standing tuck for her and that deep landing, she is a better option than Bryce - though Bryce is still a good option.

Coen remains the biggest mystery to me. She was as good as any L10 out there but the lack of competition in over 1.5 years bothers me. I have flash backs to some of our recent recruits who have come in behind the ball because of these injuries. Coen is crazy talented and her bars, if they can get it back to where she was when she was competing would be big for this team down the road at some point. But we will have to wait and see how she looks this fall.

Amari has been training for well over a year, she looks great in the gym over the last 6 months from the videos I've seen. With good routine construction she will be very good for LSU. I just question how much she will compete year one with the depth LSU has

Konnor is a lock to be competing year one, just way too talented. She may be eased into it year one given her history of injuries but she will no doubt be in the beam lineup every single week and if Jay constructs good bars for her she could help boost things a bit more here (along with schoenherr)

LSU is in a great situation, talent and depth wise this is the best it has been since that 2017/2018 teams. But there are going to have to be some tough decisions to be made, there will be many routines in lineups last year that will likely end up getting bumped out for better routines if we actually put the best routines out there...
