re: Remove

The thing is Jenny had had the talent to win a national championship since she took over for Rhonda Faehn. In fact the team she had her first year as head coach SHOULDVE honestly won nationals considering they basically only gained 2 new girls from the previous year (Peyton Ernst and Alicia Boren) but still only managed to finish 4th. The following year, they had 3/4 girls who competed in the national team for their respective countries (Amelia and Rachel for the US and Maegan for Canada) and basically the same thing the next two years with almost their entire recruiting classes being former national team members. No hate whatsoever to her but: If she couldn’t get at least one national and SEC championship by now with all the talent she has on her squad who already are polished elite gymnasts, especially since college gymnastics is far less intense on the body in terms of the hours spent training with decreased difficulty routines, makes me wonder why girls keep committing to UF aside from the weather being a huge draw to Florida and it makes me wonder if she’ll ever be able to win one

Additionally, don’t forget that stockpiling a bunch of elites/world champions does not guarantee multiple national titles. Ask Miss Val, who only won one with Ross, Kocian, Lee, Ohashi, etc. Just don’t want people to start overreacting to Florida’s signing class.

If it wasn't for Peng Peng Lee having the meet of her life, scoring two perfect 10's, UCLA doesn't win that title.

My advice is just look at OU. OU is the gold standard when it comes to winning, consistency and scoring well. You can win with a nice mix of elites and level 10s. Focus on smart routine construction and fine tuning (technique).

We are in good hands the next few years. Haleigh and Kiya will be exceptional all-arounders. Aleah obviously is on the way and will be big but the supporting cast with depth is really good across the board. Hopefully we can pick up Selena to compliment Lilly in 2022 and sign a big class in 2023.

Keep in mid..... if Riley, Morgan or Wong made the olympic team. They could still go pro if they choose.

And when I say make Olympic team I mean go pro after that ??

How many go pro just from competing at worlds? Usually most do when they are Olympian’s.

I agree with Riley in terms of not being marketable. She ends up at Florida imo.

Leanne added an amanar. It all comes down to how she hits her updrades this year but the talent and the routines are there to make it.

Morgan would be the only one I could see going pro but that would all hinge on making the Olympic team and winning the team gold.

I’ve been to Gainesville, and there’s nothing going on there. I can’t imagine living there for 4 years. Not that Baton Rouge is L.A., but Gainesville is not a big draw, I don’t care what the weather is.

tigersbb.....I wonder the same thing. Hopefully, Jay will do a great job and Ashley will also bring something new to the table. Maybe new blood and a reboot will have girls lining up to come here lol. Not that we haven’t gotten some great girls! But it’s like Florida has some secret weapon when it comes to recruiting.

Ummm. No offense, LSU alums but maybe the girls actually care about academics??

UF is 6th rated public university. LSU isn’t in the top 50...

Also, looking at the scholarship situation, I don’t think LSU has one open in 2023 for Harris (or anyone else). Kiya, Rivers, Alyona, Smith, Bryant, Dunne, Arenas, Finnegan, Tatum, Kaytlyn Johnson, Lippeatt, and Beard round out the twelve scholarships. Can’t see them pulling someone’s scholarship other than for a medical retirement.

On the topic of medical retirements... how is Caitlin Smith looking?
