Ugh... one thing I did forget to mention from the Intrasquad that really disappointed me- Kiya competed a 3 pass floor routine. There is no need for her to be ending floor with the same double pike. Granted she does it beautifully, but that's just additional pounding on her body that just isn't need...
Intrasquad was great. They actually fielded two full teams going head to head with 6 athletes (at least) going on each event. Some things that stood out: 1. Looked so much more polished than even 2 weeks ago. They look great. 2. I really think we only saw one full in the vault lineup - from ...

Alyona, Kai, and I think Elena were not in leos - but I didn't see any signs of injury. Jay did say they've had a bug going around the gym, so maybe just that. ...

I didn't know this, but evidently the NCAA did eliminate volunteer coaches and raised the set limit from 3 to 4 coaches. Here is an article about it: https://www.collegegymfans.com/results-and-news/item/12790-ncaa-council-adjusts-coaching-limits-transfer-rules.html ...

We have 11 Seniors!! I had to list a roster just to get my head around it all. [b]Seniors[/b] Elena Arenas Sierra Ballard Chase Brock Haleigh Bryant Olivia Dunne Cammy Hall Jillian Hoffman Kiya Johnson Kai Rivers Savannah Schoenherr Alyona Shchennikova [b]Juniors[/b] Aleah Fin...

I agree, SOME college, but just not at LSU, OU, UCLA, Utah, or Florida on a full ride. She can walk on to any of those programs, but she will not get offered a full ride from those programs with her current execution. I can see her excelling at UNC, Kentucky, or Pitt. ...

She’s a 5 star??? That’s Exhibit A for why CGN rankings aren’t accurate. I can see her walking on at LSU or another top program, but i feel like scholarship offers will not come from any of the power programs. Powerful athlete, useful vault potential, but everything else has too many built i...

OMG, the amount of people commenting on Jay that can’t even do a cartwheel is killing me. Trust me, as someone that has been there, done that, and competed that, Jay put the best lineup he had on the floor tonight. Everyone needs to calm down and realize this team is VERY good! Tonight doesn’t m...

Ok y’all, i have seriously stopped following this post because everyone is so negative. But… that said, the beam rotation grew a ton tonight. However, I think more credit should be how much Gnat grew! She’s understanding how to get her rotation prepared to compete - you just don’t randomly hit 5 rou...

It was ugly, and it’s not a score want, but i do think judging was a little tight, especially on the last two rotations. That said, this team is still growing and learning, they’ll be pretty hard to beat come March ...

Ugh these down votes… really hoping they’re just bitter UCLA fans. Ok, for tonight, let’s make sure we’re all realistic. There’s going to be lots of rust and a few big scores not available. I think we all need to remember, any improvement over Week 1 should be viewed as a good thing. Let’s all s...

Not to change the discussion, because it’s very relevant and needed, but was anyone else just massively impressed with KJ on beam? She’s just a few tweaks away from scoring 9.90 there as well! She’s going to be a beast in the future! ...

Whoa!! I missed all this Alexis stuff! But to answer your question, if Alexis transfers and is enrolled she can compete with the team. Classes start this week - so, it’s a complete possibility. There is no mandatory waiting period anymore. But… just because she has a routine from UCLA, doesn’t m...

Where they were icing Haleigh’s foot on the broadcast (she was standing on the ice pack) you would imagine it has something to do with her plantar fascia ligament. As someone mentioned on the other thread, you can clearly see her say “it pooped, i heard a pop.” If that’s what it is, it might just be...

Yeah, a lot of weird down votes lately. Obviously, other schools who are so jealous of us all they can do is stare at our blogs all day. Remember, people hating you is a sign of respect ...

Crisis adverted... I rewatched the interview this morning (no idea why I could not rewind last night) but he was saying Alyona will be in the AA tonight... I told y'all i was 1/2 listening. No Aleah tonight and KJ on two events today. Sorry for any concerns!! LOL - I was hoping someone else has ...

AUGH!!! Like an idiot - i wasn’t paying attention at the 1/2 time portion of the lady tigers basketball game. Imagine my surprise when i do look back to see Jay talking lineups for tomorrow. He said to expect to see Sami in the AA (like wow!!) and to not expect Aleah tomorrow night. But that’s liter...

Hey everyone!! It’s meet week!! I know there are a lot of people on this thread that follow LSU gymnastics but don’t understand the scoring. Trust me, you’re not alone, but Spencer from the Balance Beam Situation posted another quick (albeit deep) tutorial for everyone on each event. https://bal...

Yeah, I definitely laughed at that Florida team score... What they did post looked ok for this time of year. Here's the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kol_vZAWBT0 Still not sure how they do math in Central FL, because what I saw wouldn't come close to the 197.800 they posted. :l...
