Interesting recruiting year when many top ‘22 and even one top ‘21 still uncommitted. In the past, this usually meant waiting to see if they could get into Stanford but that doesn’t seem likely for all these top gymnasts. Do they all plan to do like Trinity Thomas and wait till their senior year to officially commit?

Trinity if I remember correctly committed in the spring of her junior year but she came to college a year early, She enrolled that fall later in the year.

Some kids can commit and wait till the last minute because they are that good. Sarah Finnegan committed very late. A kid like Leann Wong can wait as long as she pleases because a talent like that will always have a spot for them for pretty much most schools. Other kids don't have that luxury.

Its not too weird to see 22 kids not committed yet. I am happy about the new recruiting rules as it gives the athletes to take the time to properly evaluate a school that fits them and for coaches to truly evaluate where in athlete is with their gymnastics and physical condition. Getting commitments from 7th and 8th graders was absurd because half the time no one would know where they would be 5 years later. Some are really good, others are ridden with injuries and not very usable in college.
