re: Remove

OU opened up with a 198.050 to open year....my lord

Watching now looks like a bit of generous scoring on vault so far but not out the box

I like Desiderio in the lead off spot because of consistency but still worry she’ll get lower scores then she would if she were later in the lineup.

Dean will come along on beam but hoping to see bailey take over on bars.

Also definitely some over scoring for Oklahoma, not insane, but enough to push them over 198.

Have you heard what colleges Colbi is considering? What year will she graduate?

She is 2020

She has been in contact with LSU, Alabama, Georgia among others over the years.

She went on a visit to Georgia when Sami's mom was the HC

Do you have a link where they are attacking each other? would be an enjoyable read while on my day off!

Yea scoring isn't very accurate to begin the year tbh

Some are very strict, others are loose and not taking proper deductions. It all balances out by the end of the season.





In Elite news:

LSU recruiting target Leane Wong will represent the United States in the 2019 American Cup

By no way did we deserve to beat Auburn tonight, but that beam rotation judging was horrible - for both sides! Whoever was taking those 2 second deductions needs to practice counting

Looks like Michigan folded to the psychotic people on social media who follow USA Gym

Rhonda lasted less than 3 days lol

Just some early observations:

I think Myia’s shoes are gonna be harder to fill than initially thought. Myia was almost a guaranteed 9.90 in every event. We haven’t seen that thus far.

Vault

LSU is going to need six 10.0 vaults. No ifs ands or buts about it! Looking at OU, UF, Utah, & UCLA, LSU can’t afford not to. OU debuted six tonight against Georgia. Florida, while they took some large lunges, the form is there. Each of those schools will count at least four scores of 9.9 or better. LSU won’t be able to count any score less than 9.85 it plans to advance past regionals. I know Lexie, Sarah, McKenna & Bailey are each training 10.0 vaults, and I’m hoping we see those soon.

Bars

I’m not sure if Bridget should be in the lineup. I’m hoping Bailey can get more consistent in practice and challenge her for the second spot. Bridget can’t seem to hit a handstand. LSU can’t afford to count anything less than a 9.85 if they plan to contend at Regionals and hopefully the Final Four.

Beam

I think beam will be okay with the current lineup. The gymnasts just need more reps and confidence.

Floor

I would love to see Reagan stay in this lineup! Her floor was gorgeous and she’s so elegant. My ideal lineup consists of Harrold/Desederio, Campbell, Ferrer, Kelley, Finnegan, & Edney. I like Edwards on floor, but she lacks difficulty. Lexie is also another great option, but I’d rather see her work on her Yurchenko 1.5 and bars rather than focus on floor. I would also have either Finnegan or Kelley as the anchor. Edney hasn’t performed well in the anchor spot after two weeks. OU, UCLA, and Florida all have excellent floor lineups! All of these teams can realistically count 5 scores of 9.90 or better...which worries me about LSU.

I know it’s just been two weeks but I’m a little worried after the Auburn meet. LSU looked ill-prepared and uninspired. I’ve never seen them have that many mistakes. I know Jay mentioned at LSU 101 that they’re about 3 weeks behind, but it seems they may be closer to 4-5...especially since Bailey just made it to campus. But I have faith in D-D, Jay, Bob, ACKT, & Gnat that they’ll get this team back on track.

Yes, certainly the talent is there! I just hated to see the girls lose like they did. It seemed McKenna’s injury dampened their spirits (as it did mine). Also, I think a loss like this can serve as a “wake up” call of sorts. LSU has literally ran through the SEC the past 2 years. The SEC has so much talent this year. This makes for healthy competition.
