Great information on the newest additions to Friday Night Flights.

It appears they are now selectively recruiting for individual events rather than all around gymnasts. Is this the general trend in collegiate recruiting?

Would a gymnast who is really good in one event be recruited even if her other routines are not the quality that an elite program would seek?

Usually gymnasts are usually pretty good with one or two events, have a 3rd solid event as well. It's pretty hard to be the complete package in the all around, Edney probably has a lot of similarities in strengths to Coureville. Edney will be an all American on vault, beam, and floor is she carries her momentum into next season. She could also be an AA on bars as well, she just needs to work on her transition to the low bar, she rushes her handstands sometimes. Bars is an event where you need to look like you aren't trying but it's natural and effortless. Look at Kayla Ross, her bars look so effortless and just clean.

Campbell should be able to contribute on beam and possibly floor. Her bars look very clean in person. She kinda exploded two years ago but she slowed down and has some trouble due to injuries but I expect her to be incredible on beam all four years
