I don’t know if it’s just me but PEASE looks physically uncomfortable in her official visit photos at every school except for LSU
That visit was one everyone predicted. What wasn’t expected was having the 9 commits we have before she visited. Many people predicted half our girls to end up at other schools and for us to get Shepard (Ark commit), Vestnys (Utah commit) and Grebenkova (Auburn commit).

That being said, even though we already have 9 (!!!!!!!!!) girls in that class and are hoping for some possible deferrals from our elite girls, I would still love if Claire chose to be a Tiger if that’s where she wants to be. I know it would drive the rest of the gymnastics fan community off the rails, but I don’t care. There’s a reason why our girls don’t really transfer out of LSU, even if they aren’t seeing lineups frequently. They’re clearly very happy here and I love seeing them pick LSU because they genuinely love the school and want to be a Tiger, no matter how much the gymternet may hate on them or try to steal their moment or their joy for wanting to be happy as a Tiger

I heard that Nola and Tiana were to be the influencers during her visit.


The Reddit and Discord community have nicknamed Katelyn Rosen “The closer” since it seems as though everytime she’s involved in someone’s recruitment to UCLA, they seem to commit there.

I just hope our team and coaches have continued to stay in contact during the additional visits she has taken over the weeks

Based on what I’ve seen on social media, it seems like she’s also still been staying in close contact with the other commits to LSU, especially the girls she visited with so maybe they can sway her decision to us in a positive way
More people are saying UCLA than LSU but my gut feeling is still telling me that she is going to be a Tiger
Ditto! Not sure if this holds any weight as to where she’s leaning college wise but the only NCAA program her sister follows on Instagram is LSU. I’m trying not to get my hopes up with that tidbit of information but it seems like she’s very close with her sister
I believe we technically do since Jay is expecting some of the elites to defer for the Olympics, leaving a smaller incoming freshman class next year so a couple can come early if they want to. The 2026 class is small anyways so we had the ability to get up to 10 for 2027
Anyone have any inside info or inklings as to when Drusch will announce her commitment? I’ve been checking daily to see if she’s posted anything but so far nothing. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m basically hyper over analyzing everything she does on the app, including who she and her family are following lol
WE GOT KIARI!!!!! Maybe im reading too much into it but Tatum posted a birthday post for her mom today and she’s in a tiger jersey in one of the photos (but no OU or Gator shirts/attire). Might be a sign we got her too
Add emily and Madi to vault and take Elyse out.

I think Haley is a lock for bars (she’s a 4 time national bar champ for God’s sake that’s back to back to back at that). 6th spot I think will go to MADI but who knows depending on health of the team.

Kylie is a lock on beam for me in the leadoff but add Amari Madi and Zoe to that list too (not as locks but depth options especially since Madi has a career high of 9.9 on that event already on a lower scoring team and conference on average vs. the SEC)

Floor looks good though I think for post season, it’s gonna be konnor, kaliya, amari, kailin, Madi and Nina
Someone just caught on to the fact that 5 of Tatum’s most recent follows on IG include the LSU Tiger Life account and Kaylee Bluffstone (who recently transferred out of Florida). Not sure if these follows mean anything but Florida is also not a GK leo school and Tatum has already been working with them for a bit now. Makes me think she might be committing soon
On another note: Not sure if any of you all saw the video of Emily Innes training a Y1.5 on vault but I’ll link it below. It’s honestly about damn time she’s able to consistently work that upgrade with proper equipment, coaching and training facilities. As our resident LSU fan from Seattle, I’ve been waiting for her to transfer to a bigger school for the last 3 years so she could properly upgrade her vault. I think if she can land it consistently, it could crack the lineup since she honestly probably has the best and prettiest block in the entire NCAA (it’s TEXTBOOK PERFECTION) and has very little built in deductions in her vault.

Word on the street from a current OU gymnastics parent whose daughter trained at the same gym as Tatum, is that she turned down her scholarship offered to OU and is now deciding between Florida and LSU. I’m not sure how accurate that actually is but that’s what I’m hearing on discord.
does anyone know where the coaches stand with kiari and tatum as far as their decision making process? i heard tatum is the only recruit at florida this weekend and i know that visiting with other recruits you’re close with can often heavily sway someone’s decision one way or another. it seemed that both girls are very close with the crew they visited lsu with who all committed on their visit. i wonder if that’ll influence them one way or another
*Kiari not Kira or Kiara

I believe Georgia was her last visit based on what was said on discord
nothing i dislike more than recruits wasting a visit on us

Is Galilee Vestnys visiting next week, or do we think she’s done and committing to Utah? That’s what the discourse on discord seems to believe


Never mind. She just posted that she committed to Utah (*ugghhhh barf*). At least it’s not an SEC school and we know she’s going somewhere where she’ll never win a team title lol
Garrett does it all the time so I dont see why she wouldn’t be allowed to

ETA: Also: any update on Tatum Drusch’s announcement timeline?
