Check her new Instagram post

She will have a much better opportunity to compete more and break lineups.

Best of luck to her

She’s not discussing her reasons

I guess a fresh start is always good. I really hate that she was rushed into the lineups her freshman year. Then when she announced she was sitting out last year, I felt so bad for her. Poor girl has been through a lot. I wish her the best at Auburn. She’ll have a great chance of making the lineups there.

With that being said, what effect does this have on the LSU program as far as image? I know a lot of people were upset about them pulling Emma Jean’s scholarship. Now with Bailey transferring out, I can only see the heat LSU will be getting in the coming months.

Absolutely nothing. The crazy gymternet and twitters peoples opinion means nothing.

Emma went to Arkansas because she had been out of competing for years and had not been training for a while. While LSU honors most their commits, at some point the commitment need to hold up their end of the agreement when it comes to the commitment to the sport. LSU is offering a full scholarship for these kids to go to school and compete for a top program, it goes both ways. LSU isn't obligated to hold out a scholarship offer to a kid who isn't putting in the work/time (I'm speaking in general here). It has to be earned. Honestly, even if she came to LSU, the chances of her breaking a lineup her first two years on campus would be extremely, extremely slim.

Ferrer had been through a lot but with her personal stuff. She may want a fresh start and maybe an opportunity to compete more which she probably will get at Auburn. Coming off a year without competing and with the incoming freshmen class LSU has, making multiple lineups could be very very difficult. I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision for her either. She will have the opportunity now to compete for another good program and be closer to family as well.

What will be interesting is what LSU decides to do with that scholly now. There are a couple things they could do with it.

What are the options aside from offer it to a current walk on like Edwards?

I really hope Bailey does great at Auburn. She seems to be working really hard on her own. I hope there was nothing negative going on at LSU for her to leave. It just makes you wonder when someone decides to transfer.

I think it’s pretty obvious why she’s leaving

Guess I’m not in the loop....because if it was obvious to me I wouldn’t be wondering lol!

Yea I thought it was kinda crazy Politely hit decline.

As far as why she’s leaving, I felt like it was pretty clear it was a matter of opportunities available. She may have only made it on 1 event next season especially considering this years and next years freshman class coupled with our upcoming senior class. I’ve gotten the vibe that she feels like she has something to prove and unfortunately that opportunity just isn’t at LSU anymore.
