So I’ve been thinking about lineups and barring injury these are the spots I think are locked * and the definite possibilities.
Vt: kailin*, Amari*, Nina, Courtney, Molly, chase, Kaliya, Konnor, Lexi, Elyse
Ub: Konnor*, ashley*, kailin*, courtney*, Nina, Haley, Lexi, Madison, Zoe, Alexis (really wanted to star Haley)
bb: emily*, kailin*, Madison *, konnor*, Haley, Nina, Kylie, Elyse
Fx: konnor*, Amari*, kailin*, Elyse, Nina, Haley, Molly, Emily, Madison, Kylie, kaliya
I think floor will depend on health and opponent.
So why do yall think?

Add emily and Madi to vault and take Elyse out.

I think Haley is a lock for bars (she’s a 4 time national bar champ for God’s sake that’s back to back to back at that). 6th spot I think will go to MADI but who knows depending on health of the team.

Kylie is a lock on beam for me in the leadoff but add Amari Madi and Zoe to that list too (not as locks but depth options especially since Madi has a career high of 9.9 on that event already on a lower scoring team and conference on average vs. the SEC)

Floor looks good though I think for post season, it’s gonna be konnor, kaliya, amari, kailin, Madi and Nina

I’d expect announcements from Kiari and Tatum pretty soon on their college decisions

WE GOT KIARI!!!!! Maybe im reading too much into it but Tatum posted a birthday post for her mom today and she’s in a tiger jersey in one of the photos (but no OU or Gator shirts/attire). Might be a sign we got her too

College Gym News has a nice article on Lia Redick this week. I'm posting the link for those who have not seen it.

Anyone have any inside info or inklings as to when Drusch will announce her commitment? I’ve been checking daily to see if she’s posted anything but so far nothing. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m basically hyper over analyzing everything she does on the app, including who she and her family are following lol

I believe we technically do since Jay is expecting some of the elites to defer for the Olympics, leaving a smaller incoming freshman class next year so a couple can come early if they want to. The 2026 class is small anyways so we had the ability to get up to 10 for 2027

Yeah, Jay is definitely taking a gamble on some of the elites deferring to make the room haha.

I hope she stays in the SEC and would love to see her at LSU.

Ditto! Not sure if this holds any weight as to where she’s leaning college wise but the only NCAA program her sister follows on Instagram is LSU. I’m trying not to get my hopes up with that tidbit of information but it seems like she’s very close with her sister

Bump because this thread won’t get anchored.

Any thoughts as to whether Tatum will commit to UCLA or LSU? Speculation is ramping up on Reddit. I hope she makes a decision soon.

More people are saying UCLA than LSU but my gut feeling is still telling me that she is going to be a Tiger

I heard that Nola and Tiana were to be the influencers during her visit. I just hope our team and coaches have continued to stay in contact during the additional visits she has taken over the weeks.
I saw where Claire Peace has started her recruiting visits with the first one to Utah.

The Reddit and Discord community have nicknamed Katelyn Rosen “The closer” since it seems as though everytime she’s involved in someone’s recruitment to UCLA, they seem to commit there.

Based on what I’ve seen on social media, it seems like she’s also still been staying in close contact with the other commits to LSU, especially the girls she visited with so maybe they can sway her decision to us in a positive way

This is good to hear. She seemed so at home with the girls that did commit while visiting LSU.
