Are you saying they get locked in at 15-16? Can they not change their mind?
Some do but its rare
LSU did flip the Junior All Around National Champion from Georgia this summer, she is coming in a year early next fall

Love that Sarah Finnegan, but she looks to be totally in a class of her own for LSU right now.
This is going to be a long year.

So, do we have a recruiting problem? New practice facility and if our current girls were making decisions at 14-15, does that not coincide with our super 6 run? What's the issue?

Lost to a mediocre team! Got Florida coming up!

The talent isn't what is was the last couple years but they are a helluva lot better than this performance tonight.
Some major changes are needed
I know you are the guru and pay attention to this stuff closely. How can the talent at LSU be worse than before they had the facility? It doesn't make any sense at all.
I think we all appreciate DD but do we have a strong enough coaching staff?

They just haven’t look good the first 2 meets.
Hoping they add some more difficulty pretty damn quick. shite gotta get better in a hurry.

The hard truth is LSU has slipped with recruiting the last few classes. It was bound to catch up. I can’t wrap my mind around why they didn’t bring in a transfer this year. The good news is the future classes are really good. Will probably be some rough patches this season and perhaps the next two before they can build the depth up and the talent that we are use to seeing.

I don’t know much about gymnastics but I’m almost positive that you don’t use the second meet of the year to judge how good of a team they are.

LSU lost all rotations in this event.

Umm... so 3 years before LSU is good again? Haven't we had the same coach for 40 years, and supposedly the top recruiter in Clark for half a decade?
And a new facility and we have a gap of 3 years now? Please explain?

I believe last year their first meet was the highest score of the season. IF you watch it close enough, it is very clear LSU has no where near the personnel as years past.

There is just a lot of clean-up to do.

@Tigerbait357......what major changes do you feel we need? Coaching? Lineups? Very disappointing to lose, but do you think they have become complacent?

This may be a long post but for those who are actually interested I'll give a crack at it
The senior class was ranked the #1 class in the country when they came in as freshmen. Priessman who used to be one of the best gymnasts in the entire world has been handicapped due to her body and injuries as an elite so she has never been able to truly give LSU what we anticipated her to do. Cannamela had a major shoulder injury her sophomore year and that is why she is not in the lineup now. Not much to say about McKennas injury, unlucky, It happens in this sport unfortunately.
Junior class was a top 5 class with Edney Harold and Kirby. Edney has not been her self on vault since she was a freshmen for whatever reason. Harold is an international elite but the main flaw with her gymnastics for years was as an elite, the coached only cared about competing difficulty and not on the execution which is why she has struggled adapting to NCAA level. Kirby suffered a knee injury but before that had a procedure done on her elbow this fall. She was suppose to be in the bars lineup this year but it looks dim now.
Junior class IMO is where things are catching up with us. It was a very big class with 7 kids. Campbell was a highly recruited kid but suffered some big injuries at the end of her JO career and the injuries have impeded her training and performance at LSU. Dean was another kid who was expected to contribute but she suffered a big injury as a JO kid and hasn't been the same since. Desiderio body gave out so she came to LSU early. She has been pretty big for LSU but her physical shape right now is absolutely poor. She was one of the best floor workers in the entire world as an elite. Durante had offers from Georgia, OU, Florida before coming to LSU. She too had a major ACL injury and is just starting to finally do gymnastics again. Edwards is a project we found at a camp, and actually is pretty good and did well her first year but has been shaky so far this season.
2018 class (this year freshmen) IMO is fully on DD and Jay Clark as they completely missed on multiple recruits, including Trinity Thomas who is now at Florida. We had no choice but to bring Ferrer up. Ferrer's floor was rough tonight but anyone who has watched her gymnastics over the years knows she is great on floor and vault. I think the nerves and been thrown in there last second got to her.
I think in combination of coming up short on that 2018 class and the 2017 class all rolling around in wheel chairs half the time has been a big part of why we are in certain position we are in now. This team is not as deep and talented as the last few years but this team mentally has struggled with confidence early on and its flown over to multiple events. Tonight was a wake up call and changed will need to be made
