Thanks for this - semi one definetly doesn’t have the best rewards in terms of line up order for the next day at finals start on beam or end on beam ??

My understanding is that it’s the 3rd ranked team eg by nqs not by scores from the regional semi unfortunately which would mean Arkansas finishing on floor unfortunately but I hope I’m wrong!

Fingers crossed we can do well on Saturday and make it to nationals ! Main concern is if we are in second going into the last rotation with Arkansas finishing on floor and getting home scored and us finishing on bars which was scored very conservatively comparatively in the regional semi with floor quite loose scoring in comparison (in the sense Lsu was clearly superior to many of Arkansas routines but they were also getting 9.9,s for worse routines). Hope our sticky feet come out for all events and we can hit all events to the level we are capable. I believe in this team and know we can do it just need to put our best foot forward.

Any idea why Alexis didn’t do podium training? Is she injured?
Anyone a bit nervous about or ur regional. Definetly think we have talent to get out of it and would do with our normal routines on a neutral site … But Denver make me nervous for their scoring and how that’s going to work on their home regional … I can remember from Georgia a few years ago when they were at home it was literally insane. Anyways hope we can put our best foot forward and get to nationals! Still want to see Bryce on floor for Elena if kj not back cowan on bars for alyona and Bryce on beam to replace Sierra. There comes a point where u have to throw up the routines with the highest scoring potential over consitency otherwise the ceiling for the team will be too low to compete.
Really hope that for post seasons Bryce gets put into Elena’s spot on floor, Cowan stays in the bars line up over alyona and Elena comes out of bars and they put dunne back in. Elena has so many built in deductions I feel she will get much harder hit in post season for bars and floor. I would rather risk Bryce and dunne.

Finally we saw Alexis on beam ! And she was really incredible! A few things to take but that form and poise need to be In the line up. She doesn’t have any built in deductions. I agree with earlier poster talking about how jay keeps line ups same unless their is an injury which is not ideal - if we excercise depth more throughout the season and change things up where we can it really will pay dividends. Look at chase really looking confident tonight and her opportunities only really came due to all the injuries we have had the season. Hope we can get Bryce back in on floor before season end

I know this gets asked time and time again but is anyone on this forum attending practices or the press conferences ?if so Are they are able to please ask why Alexis is not in on beam or even if she is training it? Feel that would be a much more solid score and could be a great lead off for us as she is on bars. I feel bad for Kai as with her injuries she hasn’t been able to do the gymnastics she has wanted in college but she really is a leader for the team in other ways. I just hope we can get beam together - if not as much as it pains me to say this gnat should not be coaching beam - look at how ucla,s beam line up has turned around this year after ditching comforte. I wonder if they could switch u gnat with Courtney to beam and gnat on floor? Anyway I’m still not feeling confident about beam and worry this will for the 3rd season in a row be our downfall in post season - we just don’t seem to have that confidence but hope all these set backs across each meet will prepare them if there is a mistake in post season that they come back. We had a low score / bad routine on most events this meet and still managed a good score so I have hope - just hope we can become more consistent and clean up form as scores in post season are not going to be as forgiving.

Anyone know anything about Annie beard - I see she had surgery a while back - so we expect her to compete at all this season? Does anyone know if we can expect to see tori Tatum on any more events - her vault footage was looking good in the summer. I was also suprised not to see kamryn vaulting

I’m not sure someone said on Twitter that they had a credible source she turned down Lsu weeks ago but who knows. There source could be wrong. I would be surprised if it’s not Florida cos of the retweet they made but I think she will likely end up at Utah or fl bit of course hold out hope for Lsu !

Anyone seen garrets post on Twitter - feel like it may be another big recruit he is hinting at ! Anyone know who it is?
Hooten And potentially Victoria Nguyen from Georgia to Florida too… i honestly don’t get how they recruit so many big names when despite how stacked their roster is they can never seem to hit up to their level of talent to reach that elusive next natty for them… yes Lsu has struggled at times to do the same but we do not have half the level of stacked talent that Florida does

Anyone know what mike smith Twitter post is about talking about jay being 1-0 already for the upcoming season? Does he have a new recruit ?

Thanks tigerbait - yes I saw those quotes I was meaning one of the usual weekly Lsu press conferences mid week. Not sure why when football etc would be made to front up to the media ??.
Is jay going to do a press conference.? He needs to be asked some hard questions lol. I really like mike but it’s clear he’s good friends with jay and isn’t going to focus on the issues. This segment was way to positive for a team that has finished in their worst ranking spot for nearly 10 years

Sorry have to disagree - it’s a crime reporting to supervisor is not enough when children are involved.
I agree that kj is the best coach in ncaa - she doesn’t generally recruit the big big names but manages to be at the top every single week. Really hate her floor choreography so hopefully that part wouldn’t come lol. I think jay has tried to copy dds approach of big difficulty all the time but she managed to give the team mental strength to do that difficulty consistently so built in deductions didn’t matter! We don’t have that so let’s fix it up. I also have to say that Aleah was not consistent on her floor routine all season so I would rather she did 3 easier passes and same with haleigh but that may be due to her foot Injury. Every time they both went I held my breath

Rhonda did not follow protocol. If someone is potentially sexually abusing a child U don’t just tell ur boss ur go to the police as well and straight away so no one else gets abused. I don’t want her anywhere near this programme . Who cares if ur ostracized by the gymnastics community - which why u would be if I have no idea because ur reporting child abuse and there needs to be an investigation no matter what. If Rhonda was hired I could not support this programme. I think give jay another year to turn it around. Bars has been our problem event all year in my view - if he doesn’t change up the routines then he needs to go because no one can look at those routines and think he made them as consistent as possible so that people feel confident. If I knew I had a built in deduction every time I probs would feel stressed too. If we can get our confidence on beam and get the bars routine consturction right so we feel confident I have no doubt this team can win a national championship.
We need greater focus on training the mind and should look to employ a better mindset coach and sports psychologist. We also need to focus on smarter routine construction (even tho there has been some improvements this year) to enable individuals to feel more confident. We also need to let more individuals exhibition and pulling people out of line ups more often when they continuously don’t hit to give someone else a shot and make the environment more competitive (eg the continuous Sami beam project that went on far too long). It really needs to be best in practice is who makes line up - I don’t feel like the competition for spots has been there this year and feel people became more complacent because of it knowing either that they would never make the line up or knowing they always would make the line up regardless of mistakes. This is just my view from the outside and I’m not close to the program or the people in it but main thing for me is we need to find our competitive edge as it’s been severely lacking this year.
