re: LSU Gymnastics Recruiting Thread (2024 and 2025 Recruiting Classes)

Anyone know how we can watch the meet tonight? Thanks!

Florida scoring is just plain laughable! The vault and beam scores are just silly stupid.

Yes the meet suck but Lexie had a great meet! Especially her exhibition on beam. She kept her cool, for the most part, while the crowd was going wild. Our other girls did worse with no crowd noise. Her bars looked great. Her vault, normal. They should change it to the tuck version. What the hell was Haleigh’s score on beam? 9.7? Did I miss something?

They may need to give chio a break from AA. Her frustration is effecting her gymnastics. Olivia’s floor looked terrible tonight. Is there a reason we can’t try Leah on floor, or Kathryn, or Kylie?

Im just really frustrated right now especially with how grossly unfair fla got scored. Side note glad we didn’t Selena, she seems toxic and like a diva.

Redemption is needed come Friday. Missouri will be focused as will Kentucky the following week on their turf. .

We have rarely fared well when competing at Kentucky with the judging and it being home turf. The team put themselves in a stressful situation this past weekend (presently) to get better road scores going forward. They have the Sprouts Meet which is one strong road score but will need several more. I was so pleased that they started the season with 197's and hated to see the 196.6 creep back in this past weekend. Some of our veteran team members lost top scores that we are accustom to having whether it was due to judging or mistakes. The judging is still a hot mess and lacks consistency throughout the conferences.
We know that LSU has the talent to do great things. As someone has said they just need to focus and pay attention to details and sticks to remain as one of the top teams.

Not a great meet from the team but I guess good to have one out of the way. Mistakes from underclassmen I don't really mind as they're finding their feet but there were too many errors from the upperclassmen.

I do feel like our depth is really being tested with all the injuries and both Aleah and Kailin are cracking a bit under the pressure of AA every week. Kailin is amazing but still a freshman. Even Haleigh and Sarah Finnegan didn't do AA every week as a freshman. Aleah didn't do AA for most of last season either.

On the positive side I liked seeing the exhibition routines in the Arky meet. Roberts vault needs more work but has potential for the future, nice form. Tatum very laboured unfortunately and short on every handstand. Leah Miller actually not a bad floor backup routine, not the most difficult of passes but 3 pass routine and not much by way of built in deductions. Had it been in lineup for the meet it would've counted. And Lexi on beam, not a good angle for form, but she shows good composure.

9.75 from judge 1 for HB is criminal.

Not to make matters worse or anything like that but the judge actually threw a 9.7 for Haleigh. Not a 9.75

If judged fairly, we would have probably been at a 196.8-ish which is not where exactly you want to be to close out the month of January but it is ok setbacks happen; that is sport. Just don't want judging to prevent accountability from happening,

Judging isn't to blame for floor team and beam team being disasters last Friday. That is on both the athletes and coaches.

The floor team right now is living off of the rep of last season. I get it, there are injuries and I am not saying rush injured girls back not at all. The current lineup is capable of putting up a 49.5, but they are under performing and their mistakes mount up.

The sky is not falling, but it is getting close to gutcheck time. I trust Jay is going to push the right buttons and get them to lock in.

Another bright spot from the press conference was them saying they were going to start trying the double with kaliya again.
