Oh, there is quite the group of people who hate LSU and I have absolutely no doubt it is because they can not stand to see LSU suddenly be the top SEC program. Bama and UGA fans are not handling it well, at all. Plus, some of the people who are leading this charge are people who are more loyal to coaches than teams and they actually speak to Suzanne on a regular basis so they root for her team and they also believe every single word she says about the other coaches. The way she tells it, LSU can't win a title as long as DD is coaching because she has been holding down this team and will continue to do so. She doesn't know how to win, etc. The same could have been said for Suzanne until she finally did win. Maybe DD will never win a title but she took this program to the top, just hasn't managed to hit on the night it counted. Plus, she has been competing with far less flashy recruiting classes against the likes of UCLA, UF and OU who pull in World and Olympic team members regularly.

Florida hates LSU a lot right now, LSU has finished just ahead of them the last two years at nationals, LSU has won the last 4 regular season meets vs them as well. Its be fun to face off at the SEC championships. It literally should be only between LSU and Florida, but if people from both squads fall, Bama definitely is in the picture.

I think the most hated team in the country currently is Utah. They are just very arrogant, plus no one likes Skinner. Sure she is a phenomenal gymnast but her attitude and demeanor are awful.

I don't hate OU, I admire their work ethic and attention to detail, plus they aknowledge when other teams are successful. Coach Kindler has the most respect for LSU as the program it is.

I do hate UCLA though, like a lot. Anyone who has been around their program can tell you they believe they are entitled to essentially everything. Kinda like UCLA is on a different level compared to everyone else and they expect to be treated so. Its really a major rub off. I do like many of their gymnasts, I'm friends with many of them, I just don't like the culture val has created.

I haven’t noticed any Utah hate, other than with Skinner. I wish she wouldnt jump around like she just secured a championship after every single routine. In that vein, I also don’t care for the “Auburn salute”. They seem more excited to do the salute than the routine itself.

Floymnastics has started to rate and rank the level 10 gymnasts so far this year and here is what I know about our LSU commits.

Kai Rivers is ranked #2 in the country in all around, #4 on vault, #2 on floor, #5 on bars.

Bailey Ferrer is ranked #6 in the all around, #3 on floor and #7 on vault.

haleigh bryant is ranked #3 in the all around, #2 on beam, #3 on floor, #5 on vault.

Level 10 ranks are broke down by different class years. This hasn't been posted yet but should be in the future. It will obviously be different from week to week as each person competes

My question about UCLA is that they have 24 girls listed on there roster. Scholorship limit is 12 for Womens Gymnastics. We have 17, I assume with 5 walk on's. Do they really have 12 walkon's?? Man that's a lot of girls on there own dime.

Their AD encourages the team to take as many walk-ons as possible for Title IX numbers.

I remember when it first filtered out that Bryant committed to us, I had no clue who she was. So young, so I thought Jay just saw her potential. That man is an amazing recruiter! And yes Everest is a great gym, ptc with bars. Sort of like IGI.

Now that’s just greedy ;)

I guess they are losing PPL next year, but that’s the only significant senior I think? It feels like she should be in her 30s she’s been on their roster for freaking ever

Their roster doesnt say who is walkon and who is om scolly, but at some point they have to run out of room under the 12

She's been texting a few people on UCLA's team as of late but I am not 100% sure if she has already visited. I know UCLA's fans are already trying to reach out to her

She enjoyed her OU trip. I still would like to think LSU in a good place considering she already had a good relationship with our coaches prior to her attending college, plus she is really good friends with many of the people on our team. Unless she is still not sure due to the bad blood that came after. Our staff was pretty pissed she led us on and then decided not to come here last second because she was unsure of what she wanted to do. Luckily we had Sarah Finnegan.

I do know she really likes LSU OU and UCLA
