re: Remove

Those admins don’t care; the main one has a long history of trashing LSU on various message boards.

They don’t see it though. They constantly tear LSU apart and think nothing is wrong with it. I’m so close to leaving the page but someone has to be there to put them in their places and I’m ok with doing that! Geaux Tigers!

Geeeeeez, people are going crazy dissing LSU in bb situation. Like if that score was Kennedi's fault or like it could invalidate the whole meet scoring. And also people are mad because we are #4 in RQS lol

And counted no score less than 9.80 (Rau on vault)!

I’ve read on here numerous times that she was rushed into the lineup and she should actually still be in high school. I’m not disagreeing with that but at what point does DD say it is time to move on for now. She has been consistently bad on the vault since the first time doing it in a competition here.

We kinda have no options

We had pretty much zero depth on vault going into the year and knew we had to be healthy on this event to do well. Ryan is injured, Ferrer is not available, Alyona is coming off an injury. Only Edwards has a serviceable vault right now out of all the juniors.

Ideal lineup has Ryan in that last spot but she may not be available the rest of the season. Her vault scored top 4 at JO nationals. Not being able to use her hurts the lineup. I pray Alyona can put out a vault to end the year.

If Tatum ends up getting her school stuff worked out and comes up early, that will be a dramatic help to our lineup next year

Yeah all the Achilles tears are making me nervous for Kiya...every week they talk about testing her but they still haven’t (aside from going down to a full on vault)

I'm concerned about Kiya too, especially since she has a history of Achilles pain. We really cannot afford to lose her in post-season. It's really unfortunate that we lost Edwards for a few weeks and then Edney on some events for a few others (while she hasn't been impressive on the rest either), otherwise they could have stepped in while Kiya had a rest at least on floor.

I don't really have an issue with Rau. As has been said, what choice is there really? We are still using even Durante on vault. Props to her for being able to offer a vault to help the team out, but it wouldn't be an option we want to use in post-season, while Rau's vault might potentially be. Losing Ryan and Ferrer really hurt. LSU's top 5 is a very strong lineup (Harrold, Edwards, Rivers, Edney, Johnson but there is a sharp drop off after that.

Do we think we will see any changes to the lineups tonight? Maybe resting a couple of girls on events. Any thoughts?

They could keep her as anchor on floor and not use her if the 5 in front hit. But even then she has warmed up floor and is ready to go. It’s not saving her from very much wear and tear on the achilles at that point.

I just started watching Arkansas/Auburn. Although I know little about deductions, one of the Auburn girls was arched way back in her first bars handstand and got a 9.875. Seems like Durante does near flawless routines and gets a 9.80 - 9.850. Also saw I believe a 9.90 vault for Arkansas with big step forward. The camera work is terrible. I like a consistent angle band they’re all over the place.
