Open recruiting begins on June 15. Does anyone know of L10 and Elites that LSU will be reaching out to during the recruiting process?

[quote] Speaking of steal I am still pissed that Pederson's floor was judged teh equal of Amari and Kaliyah's which allowed Oklahoma to steal the national championship. Bread and butter compared to dynamic high flying floor.

I agree with you. The college programs and fan communities are getting tired of the same team being given grace in scoring year in and out to win the championship. This travesty was evident in comments on social media. The NCAA better realize this before the support starts dwindling for the sport. Coaches have to be concerned as well with this happening each year. OU needs to be forced to compete higher level tumbling on floor or the judges need to award teams with higher levels of tumbling. I hope the Tigers can get the win next year. Also, the number 1 team always gets the night session which scores higher literally cutting out any wins for national titles for the afternoon sessions. The NCAA needs to address this issue.

Anna Flynn Cashion is from Haleigh Bryant's Gym Club. She has the same vault as Haleigh that has scored 9.95 throughout the season. We could use a good vaulter for sure!!

Did you see the technique Lou Ball picked up from Nebraska to help the Sooners stick vault? I saw it on youtube. Garrett's vault coaching could benefit in helping the team to get more sticks. This is what the judges obviously want to see. All the talent in the world will come up short without a stick on events.
IMO, all coaches need to address the difference in scoring of the afternoon session and the night session in post season. This is a travesty that the afternoon session always endures. LSU or any of the other teams that are "second" nationally wounds up with 1 to 2 tenths less from the start being in the first session. Coaches need to rethink ways to seek the NCAA's attention to improve the operation of post season and championships. Also, the Sooners get so much hype on winning 8 Championships. We all saw scoots, steps & etc. from the Sooners but the judging awards them the scores anyway.

I just saw that LSU is starting on floor and ending on beam for the final. Was this by choice or determined according to Semis scores? LSU did have the lowest score. Floor is our best event. I pray the team is in beast mode tomorrow.

I just want to at least be able to use her on beam and maybe vault. Bars may be a stretch right now

I would think beam would be ok for her since she does not place a lot of pressure on her arm. We really do not have anyone that can replace her that has the form and grace that she does. Emily Innes is graceful but struggles to stick the dismount.

Have you heard if Konnor will be available to compete beam at the championships?

They all compete with a team mindset but several gymnasts are exceptional competitors. Individual honors that are earned are always a plus for LSU.

LSU had very few "stuck dismounts" on vault, bars and beam. That will need to improve for Ft Worth. It looks like Georgia is peaking and could be an upset for someone on our side of the bracket. Maybe Konnor will be able to compete beam. We really need her on this event and bars but bars are most likely out unless she recovers quickly.

It's a shame Madison wasn't named All SEC. She was so good on bars. Maybe she will move toward the last three of the lineup so her score will go higher than the 9.90 next season.

The Baton Rouge Regional rotation order. The coaches were given the choice of what event they will begin on. Jay usually chooses bars but ending on floor should be a strong closer for LSU. Let's hope LSU will get a few sticks on vault with it being the first event.
