Just catching up on yesterdays gymnastics and wooooowwww scoring is crazy. A ten used to mean something lol- there were so Many yesterday I have lost count !!! I agree out scores have not been up there so far but when you look at routines from other meets the same routine is scoring much higher than Lsu has been getting for routines with the same visible errors! Fingers crossed for a clean meet today and that we get some of the same scoring energy other teams are getting !

Yes I watched it. Bama was on fire, especially on vault. Scoring wasn’t outrageous but I did question a few of the score changes late in the meet. Thought they may have been about .3 high overall.

Thanks god we got a near 198! Yes got some crack but we’ll in line with everyone else this weekend. Loved the floor rotation ! Christina in best shape that I have seen her! Just got to get vault and bars landings going. Great debut from Aleah on floor ! Shame she went oob but sure some nerves there. Feel just relief to be honest as was very worried after seeing rest of scoring this weekend !

I just love seeing the smarter routine construction. So much better on beam series and leaps. It was smart to give Aleah a 2 pass floor routine this early in the season. They just have to find vault landings and bars dismounts.

Edit: I do still question Bryant ending floor with that front double full. It looks like they decided to over-do it and dance out of it. Maybe she could eventually leap out of it? I think the judges knew it was a bit over cooked even with the dancing out and that’s going to be the only thing stopping her from going 10 in post-season, assuming she doesn’t have issues like last year.

Floor lineup should be set going forward.

Never wanna see Edwards on vault again.

I feel so petty bitching even though she scores 9.9+ but that worries me mostly for post season and every tenth of a point counts. Is it truly worth having that in the routine? Over rotation, under rotation, they are still deductions. Something to consider.

I think LSU has to shake up the vault lineup next week. KJ and Bryant have been great but the other vaults have been lacking a bit. Kiya hasn't broken into the 9.9's yet but I know they do less reps in the gym with her plus she is still near a 9.9 anyways. Curious when we will see KJ do her double

I posted about that a few days ago. This is the best floor lineup based on consistency and history. Aleah will get there and only make us stronger. I still stand on my comments about Edwards not doing vault. She is not consistent enough on her landings. I do see the affects of Bob Moore retiring. He was the best in the business with vault. Kai, Alyona, Aleah, Kj, Haleigh and Kiya has the best potential. I’m totally fine with Arenas in for Kai. Bars and beam are the concerns for me. Those top teams are great on beam because they have natural beam workers and great skill selections. For bars,Dunne needs a new dismount ASAP. Her spot is in danger if they can get Aleah where she needs to be. Built in deduction are to high for her. She had obvious forms breaks with a stuck landing and only scored a 9.825.The form is not good at all.I think Kai was just off tonight trying to hard to stick. Also in my earlier post Durante because of her positions in her leaps will never score as high as the others on beam. I get scared when she goes because she is hit or miss with falls more than the others.Idk if Bridget is having issues with her series or what maybe nerves or going later in the lineup. She never fell going earlier in the lineup. She needs to be second. She’s always been consistent but her form has improved so much over the years. I still feel if they can get Campbell where she needs to be the best lineup is Christina, Bridget,Campbell, Finnegan, Bryant and Kiya. I believe they have as much talent as Michigan, Utah and Florida but the consistency and confidence needs to be there. I don’t wanna step on anyones toes but I could see Alexis Jeffrey in the bar lineup. Her form and dismount is better than Dunne’s based of her Meet the Bruin routine .

Well that exceeded my expectations, and we were saved with an Uber high floor rotation score, but we showed a lot of improvement. Some points of interest: Sami needs to get out of the beam lineup, also does anyone know what’s happening with Bridget on bea, - she has been a rock on that series her entire career, but something is off this year.

Christina looked great today - I hope she can keep it up, because she can be streaky, but floor and beam were excellent for her today. Also, Haleigh,s vault was as ever perfect. Why didn’t alyona vault? I thought an injury maybe but then she did floor. We absolutely have to get more 10.0 vaults in the lineup to,have a chance - I agree that Kai was putting some pressure on herself today that took away some landings. Also, it may be to,e to,phase edwards out - I don’t know that it is possible for her to get the landing at this point.

I’m glad we see the same things. This is our team and I don’t know the inner workings of the team. But based off watching all the teams and thinking I’m a judge I just want to see the minor improvements. If we’re in a perfect world with consistency and form and skills the vault lineup should be Kai, Alyona, Finnegan, Kj, Kiya, and Haleigh. Bars should be Kiya, Kai, Finnegan, Haleigh, Alyona and Sami. If not Kai then Alexis. Sorry before the controversy I really like her bars. Beam should be Christina, Bridget, Campbell, Finnegan, Haleigh and Kiya. Floor should be the exact same lineup today. Christina, Alyona, KJ, Aleah, Haleigh and Kiya.

Anyone else feel like Auburn were poor sports? Or was I looking too deep into it given the possible tension stemming from AJ.

Maybe considering the mother who brought this to light on social media is Auburns star Derrian Gobourne.

I did think Gobourne was a little extra during her floor routine. The crown thing was a little too exaggerated for my liking. But hey, even “queens” are not exempt from taking L’s.

Yes that’s what I was referring to. Not to mention her original information was incorrect.

US National Team Member Kailin Chio is visiting soon (not official yet due to recruiting rules)

A couple other junior US national team members are supposed to come down for the Utah Meet later this season from what I heard.

I’d agree tigerbait with shake up vault line up id like to see alyona in there and some of our other 10.0 options we haven’t seen for a while such as kamryn or even Aleah if she’s ready . I also really like to see Olivia dunne on beam for Sami - let’s try her and see how she is scoring. And maybe Aleah on bars… Obviously I recognize we are not in gym every day so don’t see what coaches see but really need to help Sarah get her landing or if she as inconsistent as she is in practice then pull her from lineup until she gets her consistency.

I really like Kailin but she seems like a Utah girl to me for some reason.

Tigerbait have you heard anything about Jafree from GAGE? she was supposed to sign with Florida but hasn’t. I’m wondering if she’s looking around
