We know a lot about lsu , but whas going on with the other top programs? Big holes to fill in the lineups? injuries? Quality of new recruits?

Florida returns pretty much everyone minus Borren. Their really good freshmen class is now a year older. They get Foberg back from injury. Florida was pretty much a top 5 team last year but choked during regionals. On paper they should be up there.

OU is number one because they are ridiculously consistent and clean. Losing Brenna Dowell is a big loss but they replace her with Ragan Smith who should be a big all arounder for OU with Nichols.

UCLA lost Ohashi, who was a scorer but that team is loaded with a lot of elites and return most of that team, including Ross.

Utah losing Skinner was a big blow to that program. One of their star freshmen recruits is out indefinitely with a knee injury too.


Not saying LSU won't end up in the top 4, I just think we have too many question marks early. Team score wise, the senior class has carried these scores the last few years.I believe Kiya by the end of the year will be putting up 9.9+ scorers on essentially all 4 events but I am going to be cautious with expectations for her early. Leaning heavily on a freshmen to do all around is a lot but she was the top JO recruit for a reason. Not only is Kiya doing AA but her routines are dramatically more difficult than the rest of the team minus bars. Kai is probably the X factor for this team outside of Kiya, what she can bring to this team score wise on vault, bars, and floor could be a game changer but her staying healthy is the main concern. I think we can be very good but we need to get Desiderio, Ryan, and Alyona healthy as possible.
