May be a wait and see if she can do any events. Beam and Vt would be great, wouldn’t expect bars.

Chio is amazing!! Can she teach our whole lineup how she sticks her vaults so consistently? Don’t know how she dials it in week in and week out.

I see where Molly Brinkman is leaving LSU and entering the Portal. She stated that she has 4 years of competing left. I hope that she finds a home and does well.

Very understandable, we are very deep this year and likely next since most of the contributing routines are by sophmores/juniors. I was surprised she didn't seem to be in contention for vault at all this year even though she had a strong 1.5 as a recruit. Hope she finds a good spot.

She is a mutant! She will finish as one of the greatest college gymnast ever.

Yes start on Vault in Semi's. Should we advance to finals along with OU. We would have 2nd pick of starting apparatus

Judging is usually more discriminating on the first event. Hopefully the girls can stick at least 3 maybe 4 of the vaults to stay on target after the first rotation. Florida will score well on bars which will likely be their first event unless they choose beam. Both those events have been money for Florida this season.
Georgia is very competitive this year. They will be in the hunt. The Tigers will need to bring their A game and remain focused.

Have you heard if Konnor will be available to compete beam at the championships?

Florida chose to start on beam so bars will be their "exclamation point" in semis on this Thursday at championships. I had a feeling they would shoot for bars to be their last rotation since it is one of their best events.

I just want to at least be able to use her on beam and maybe vault. Bars may be a stretch right now

I would think beam would be ok for her since she does not place a lot of pressure on her arm. We really do not have anyone that can replace her that has the form and grace that she does. Emily Innes is graceful but struggles to stick the dismount.

Jay said he is hopeful that she will be available on all 3 events. She was in a good spot in the intersquad on Saturday- Hopefully she will still feel good on Thursday and Saturday.

I would love to just see her on vault and beam. Haley is a great bars worker and more than takes up the slack. I can’t say the same for beam and vault.
