That’s great about Selena (Harris) but most of the gymternet feels she’s headed to Utah.


From your mouth to God's ears...

The Las Vegas clubs have been very, very good for Utah Gymnastics, but while they are in the mix for Harris, I am don't think Ute fans feel like it is anything like "a lock" that she signs with the Red Rocks.

Dang... I was rooting for your gals... Great effort and a great meet, OU just didn't give ground...

As a Ute fan I know how tough it can be seemingly keep finishing 2nd to a dynasty (Utah finished 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd and 3rd when UGA was winning 5 straight in the late 2000's). But LSU and DD certainly deserve to get that 1st place trophy one day.

Let me also say that as a fan NCAA Gym (not just a fan of my own Alma Mater) it has been a pleasure to watch this group of LSU Seniors...

Best of luck next year.

Here is a video for y'all to enjoy of Olivia Dunne training with upgrades


Big time potential as you obviously can see. Hope she has a big season in 2019


Dunne strikes me as a future star in NCAA Gym...

It is so tough to make a US National team these days and the Elite scoring system emphasizes different strengths than the NCAA scoring system (if we can call it a system :rolleyes: ).

I think Dunne is gymnast who's skill set is tailor made for college, and she still has tons of difficulty.

Yes Tigerbait, as a guest I don't want dwell on Utah too much, but like most fans I get "greedy" when it comes to recruiting.

That said I have to admit look forward (and knowing its on paper) I haven't felt this good about Utah's Gym recruiting in ages:

2019
Jillian Hoffman
Abby Paulson
Jaedyn Rucker

2020
Jaylene Gilstrap (I think her skill set will be great in NCAA)
Malie O'Keefe
Deanne Soza

2021
Kara Eaker
Lauren Letzsch
Grace McCallum

With the possible exception of Utah's 2015 team it has been a long time (2009 maybe) that I haven't felt Utah would have to get "lucky" to beat the OU's, Florida, and recent LSU & UCLA teams... If everyone hit those teams were just deeper than the the Utes and capable of getting really big scores from a post season judging panel.

Hopefully (for me) that will change going forward.

In any case best wishes to the Tigers this coming season, I am looking forward that February quad meet in St Charles.

If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask.

thanks again.

Hi I have enjoyed skimming this thread and it is great to read the options of other gym fans.

So while I don't think it a huge blow to your very healthy program I am afraid it looks like your/are friends in Athens are the winners for the Cashman minisweepstakes

Check the instagram status

I am more than a little bit bummed because I really like what I have seen of Cashman on video, but the Utes put themselves into a scholarship crunch and don't seem to have UCLA's ability to somehow maintain a 20 athlete roster... :pimp:
