re: Remove

You bring up a good point. LSU has, in the past, been at the forefront of providing video and updates but they have really let a LOT of the other schools pass them by this season. Not sure what is going on but you have to think of these things when you have recruits watching all the videos of these other schools they may be interested in and they can't even see anything from LSU.

What time is the team practicing at?

Way to spoil the surprise lol jk


She just moved to Texas Dreams. She is a power gymnast, phenomenal on vault and floor. She is a junior elite as well

Kim will definitely straighten her out on beam, TD kids are usually all great on beam

Johnson vault

Johnson floor

Johnson beam

She has some crazy upside.

Johnson also seems like she has gone through puberty so she shouldn't have issues losing skills or anything in the future unless she continues to grow too much. Definitely powerful.

Agreed, she is 15.

She is training a double full. Her full is insanely easy for her. I like her technique on her vaults, it’s effortless for her.

It will be exciting to see how Kim shakes her up on beam. Watching her at the JO level on bars, she actually isn’t bad. She hits her handstands well, just got to add a release and fix her double layout on the dismount.

With how big this sophomore class is, LSU still has 1-2 more spots left for this class.

Olivia Dunne is now attempting upgrading to a Dos Santos II

Money seemed to win....


Alexis Jeffrey commits to UCLA lol

Does that surprise you at all tigerbait, I would of thought she would commit to Alabama or LSU

I was able to make ½ of the intrasquad. My plane literally landed at 1:29 and by the time I arrived they were warming up beam. I don’t want to post too many details, because they’ve been so tight lipped on social media this year, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag (excuse the pun) in the event that was on purpose.
But here are some notes without letting too much out:
Desiderio led off beam and looked crazy solid. You can tell she takes pride in being that first gymnast up, which is a great sign (and let’s be honest, for the next three years too).

Sami competed on beam Friday, few bobbles but worked out of them well.

There were some knee issues on series for the first few up, which I’m sure will be worked out before season. Edney was third, who tends to have slightly bent knees too, but not today!! Edney just looked phenomenal. Like seriously… super confident and just crazy beautiful beam. They also reworked her mount, which let’s all be serious, thank gawd!

Reagan also has a reworked mount, but it’s just as beautiful as the press handstand, and y’all will love this one more. She also changed her series on beam.
Bridget looked good too, just needs more numbers. I loved how they put together her routine. Not cookie cutter at all.

Sarah was all doing Sarah things and making everything look beautiful. She did bobble on her series and was close to missing a foot on her somi, but she was all, nope, I’m just going to adjust a little and stay on this beam because I am beautiful and I’m way too artistic perfection to fall.

Kelley did beam too, and she attacked it. Her routine does worry me because it still has a tuck jump full in the leap series – a skill that always freaks the bejeezus out of me. McKenna has self-admitted to her lack of flexibility, so I get it, but doesn’t mean I have to like it!

Floor looked super strong. Lexie stayed on the tumble track, and we had some people throwing passes on the rod floor that were not quite ready for the spring floor (but it is October and all!)

Choreography is AMAZING!! I mean, I didn’t see any typical OU type themed routines about starving children or orphanages in random European nations (I mean seriously where do they pick these themes), but that’s never been our thing anyway.

Edney’s routine is much better suited to her dance style. Finnegan used last year’s routine, not sure if she’s keeping it or just still working on this year’s… It’s still so early.

I will say this, you’ll see some passes that will totally shock you… and in a good way! There was one time where I thought, OMG, I can’t believe they did that, but… then I was all, that’s brilliant!!
