re: Remove

What I do know is that only 18 girls can fit on their charter plane for travel meets. Next year, the team will have 21 girls total plus their two boy managers, plus coaches, meaning 3 girls will have to stay home for every travel meet. Just based on that, the question here is more about who will be forced to stay home from away meets rather than who’s going. IF LSU adds Rachel Dickson to the roster, that’s 4 girls that are forced to stay home. As much as she would be a great addition to the team, I don’t think the team has room for her and is better off giving the open scholarship to someone like Sarah Edwards who’s competed two events for the team consistently all 3 years she’s been there. I know that Sierra Ballard is Jay’s niece so as co-head coach it’s highly unlikely he will let DD have her stay home for travel meets due to the familial relationship and conflict that could insight.

I also know that Rachel changes her Instagram bio to now say UGA Gymnastics Alum. With all this time in quarantine due to COVID-19, it’s also entirely possible that she’s still deciding if she wants to take a 5th year or be done entirely with the sport since she’s been in the transfer portal since the beginning of March. If she doesn’t announce something soon, or more details about where she’s potentially transferring don’t surface soon, it’s unlikely that anyone will pick her up at this point other than LIU who’s still look to fill roster spots. I’m not trying to be negative here. Just laying out all the facts
