re: LSU Gymnastics 2026 Recruiting and Beyond Thread

Anna Flynn Cashion's vault.

LINK

Ella Fine has just committed to Florida. She was formerly committed to Auburn.

Ariel Posen, formerly from UGA, committed to LSU!

Her recent beam video was impeccable. Don’t know how consistent she is now. Seems like a beam specialist potentially

In a surprising turn of events, Joscelyn Roberson is in the Transfer Portal. Not sure if we have the space for her or if Jay would even target her but she, McClain, Lincoln and Chio would be QUITE the group looking ahead to LA 2028 but rumor has it she’s might have her sights set on UGA since her former elite coaches Laurent Landi and Cecile Canqueteau-Landi HOWEVER she does have the WCC connection at LSU with Amari and Zoe (both of which she seems to be very close with)

Do you have access to the Portal or are you using some other source? The other sources aren't up to date.

Just for fun, way to early lineup predictions next year: (Obviously could change depending on other transfers).

Vault:

Lexi (Could change if we get Anna Flynn, Jayden or Nicole King) Also depends on the health of Zoe who has a beautiful 1 1/2, Nina, and the Milton twins.
Konnor (Can't imagine they would take her out if she is healthy/consistent other than to give her rest- but again could change based on depth and who we have coming in)
Vic
Kaylia
Amari
Kailin

The back half of the line up- I can't imagine will change, unless one of them is resting or unhealthy. The first 3 spots have a lot of depth options- which will be nice considering we really didn't have a ton of options last year.

Bars:

Lexi
Skye
Madi
Kailin
Haley
Konnor

Options: If Zoe is healthy, she is beautiful on bars.Posen depending on where she's at when she comes in. Nina is solid on bars and Vic also has a great set with beautiful form. Audree is a great option as well- and the Milton twins also bring great options depending on how healthy they are when they come in. If we get Lyden, that could also bring another great addition.

Beam:

Kylie
Skye or Posen (depending on who is more consistent, I can see Lexi battle for this spot as well, as up until the last day she was very consistent and in a great head space)
Kaliya
Amari
Konnor
Kailin

If we get Lyden- she would be a contender here, too. Along with Mustari, Nina, Elyse (If Healthy) and Zoe.

Floor:

Konnor (If Healthy)
Nina
Kylie
Kailin
Amari
Kaliya

Lots of depth options here as well- Zoe Miller, Elyse(if healthy), Leah Miller if healthy, Lexi of course, and the Milton twins will add depth as well.

Regardless of if we pick up another transfer or two or not- this team is in great shape for another solid run with some options to utilize our depth again and keep the team healthy.

not sure where jordyn and her family stand with lily pedersen and her whack arse mom but i know she’s on great terms with tatum drusch, that family and all the other minnesota girls in our program past and present and seemingly our transfers too

me saying “her whack arse mom” was a reference to Lily’s mom being exposed for money laundering theft and fraud at their club gym during Lily’s freshman year and essentially stealing a bunch of money from a bunch of families and other gymnasts at the gym and promising that they would go towards travel funds for the gymnasts, but then keeping the funds all to herself or something along those lines. I don’t remember the specifics of it, but essentially a lot of people were led to believe that it was one of the reasons Tatum opted to commit to LSU instead of Oklahoma.
