She’s still very much involved with the gymnastics team, just in a new role now (her words not mine)

Thanks for the replies! Not sure why someone down voted my question. I’ll just assume it was by mistake lol

Good deal, I just saw Bri had the job she did last year. Love Sav, glad she's still here

TB357,

Have you heard if Josie has other recruiting trips she plans to take before making a commitment?

Myla is a powerful gymnast. She reminds me of KJ on floor. She will be an asset to lineups.

I’m gonna update the thread later but big time job by the coaches after the 26 class

I also believe it’s fairly obvious the expectation is there will be multiple deferrals for this class

As of now, I think the potential deferrals would be Redick, Cadrin, and Esponda. Plus Hezly potentially deferring twice.

I always assumed Hezly would defer to 28. That’s what I was told. I’m expecting the Canadian girls to defer and potentially Esponda. If that happens LSUs class will sit around 4-5 (if Sparks commits later on)

Sparks is at Florida this weekend

-Jada Oliver, Brandy Johnson, L10, 5 Star Recruit
-Reese Esponda, World Champions, Senior Elite, 5 Star Recruit

Two gymnasts to monitor still:

Looks like LSU had another official visit from Level 10 gymnast Emma Howells from Georgia Elite. I saw this posted on Haleigh Bryant’s Instagram reel.

Is Galilee Vestnys visiting next week, or do we think she’s done and committing to Utah? That’s what the discourse on discord seems to believe

ETA: Also: any update on Tatum Drusch’s announcement timeline?

Not sure she can post these pics now that she is on the coaching staff.

And looks like LSU was also her final visit too. Not too sure if she'll actually choose LSU though.

Also Kiari will have one more visit before she's going to decide, I believe.
