AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 She helped get Auburn to where we are and as such has been a true asset and who deserved to get a head coaching job. So I am happy for her. I just wish it was not bama. Hopefully we can find an equal or better replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, being an Alabama grad and with all her notoriety as a Bama gymnast you can blame her. it was inevitable. hope we can find an equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakem 296 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I don’t think we’ll lose a recruit to her being that Dana Duckworth’s problem was scholarship issues. I’ve seen bama fans say that they are already one over in schollies for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also really not sure where Bama would find a schollie for her. They’d have to pull another girl’s offer and their 2023 class is loaded.

AUreo 753 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 UPDATED POWER RANKINGS https://collegegymnews.com/2022/06/01/way-too-early-power-rankings-2-0/ The dramatic championship showdown between Oklahoma and Florida that has lingered in our minds throughout the first few months of the offseason was apparently a sign of things to come, as the past few weeks have seen quite a few dramatic headlines hit the news feeds to keep us entertained. With so many significant developments taking place, the landscape of the 2023 season is already changing, meaning it’s time to refresh the Way Too Early Power Rankings for next season. The early offseason has not only brought us expected news like COVID year announcements and coaching changes, but the new and still veiled transfer portal has yielded some unexpected roster modifications. That’s got Utah creeping up closer to the No. 1 spot, but for now Oklahoma maintains its position atop the rankings with its recruiting class putting on a strong showing at development program nationals, where the class of 2022 recruits recently wrapped up their level 10 careers. Natalie Wojcik and Derrian Gobourne have their programs on the rise as well, but news regarding a fifth-year decision from Trinity Thomas continues to evade us heading into the summer. As with every edition of this summer’s power rankings, all seniors who hadn’t confirmed an extra season by the time of publishing were counted as losses. Here’s an updated look at which teams should lead the way in 2023. No. 1: Oklahoma 2022 Finish: No. 1 Gymnasts Lost: Emma LaPinta, Karrie Thomas, Carly Woodard Postseason Routines Lost: 2 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 14 With the COVID years for the senior class publicly announced prior to the end of the season, the Sooners have been enjoying a quiet offseason—one that national champions would expect. The only news surrounding Oklahoma has been good news, with incoming freshman Faith Torrez tying for the highest all-around total amongst all the development program national champions. Torrez can more than make up for what the Sooners lose from their championship team, making depth a bigger asset moving forward. No. 2: Utah 2022 Finish: No. 3 Gymnasts Lost: Alexia Burch, Cammy Hall, Adrienne Randall, Sydney Soloski Postseason Routines Lost: 3 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 24 The Utes can claim one of the early offseason’s biggest surprises, using the portal to add Michigan transfer Abby Brenner to next season’s roster. The former national champion not only adds depth to Utah’s bars and floor lineups, but her Yurchenko one and a half is just the stabilizing vault that lineup has needed for years. With Brenner, a healthy Kara Eaker and five-star recruit Makenna Smith next year, the gap between the Utes and the Sooners is starting to close. No. 3: Florida 2022 Finish: No. 2 Gymnasts Lost: Alyssa Baumann, Sydney Johnson-Scharpf, Nya Reed, Savannah Schoenherr, Megan Skaggs, Trinity Thomas Postseason Routines Lost: 14 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 25 The headline we’ve all been waiting for is the one we still haven’t gotten yet this offseason, with the fate of Trinity Thomas’ available COVID season still unknown. Her decision will significantly impact next season’s outlook, but Florida is looking like a championship contender either way. The Gators join the rest of the top teams in bolstering their depth for next season, supplementing their one-women signing class of Kayla DiCello with Georgia transfer and former elite Victoria Nguyen in their biggest development of the early offseason. No. 4: Auburn 2022 Finish: No. 4 Gymnasts Lost: Jada Glenn, Allie Riddle, Drew Watson Postseason Routines Lost: 2 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 12 One of last season’s final four teams is once again looking like a contender with headliner Gobourne’s announcement that she’ll be back for another season. Now, the Tigers barely have any holes to fill from 2022’s lineups with five-star recruit Olivia Greaves incoming to give them an added boost. After perfectly managing adding a superstar to the roster and a dramatic rise to the top, Auburn has shown it has the edge a true title contender holds. No. 5: Michigan 2022 Finish: No. 8 Gymnasts Lost: Abby Brenner, Abby Heiskell Postseason Routines Lost: 6 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 4 No longer needing to replace double-digit routines, the Wolverines jump back into the top five of the power rankings after Wojcik announced she will allow us to marvel at her gymnastics for another season. For a team embarking on a revenge tour next year, the prowess of a superstar super senior will be much appreciated. However, after a quiet end of the level 10 season for Michigan’s duo of five-star recruits, there’s still a few questions as to who will fill those lineup holes. A bonus season from Abby Heiskell would give the Wolverines a big boost. No. 6: LSU 2022 Finish: No. 18 Gymnasts Lost: Reagan Campbell, Rebecca D’Antonio, Bridget Dean, Christina Desiderio, Sami Durante, Sarah Edwards Postseason Routines Lost: 5 2022 Recruiting Class Rank: No. 7 It’s been an uneventful offseason thus far for the Tigers, with the only “news” being the inferred buyout clauses added to contracts to keep their staff intact during an already chaotic coaching carousel. Incoming four-star recruit Ashley Cowan’s bars win at development program nationals is a promising sign for LSU, who often had bars issues last season, but much of the burden of returning to title contending status falls on a fully healthy superstar duo of Kiya Johnson and Haleigh Bryant. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUreo 753 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Bama top recruit Lily Smith (5-star, #3 nation) flips to UGA: BREAKING: Five-Star Recruit Lily Smith Switches Commitment to Georgia https://collegegymnews.com/2022/06/07/breaking-five-star-recruit-lily-smith-switches-commitment-to-georgia/ Lily Smith, one of the top recruits in the class of 2023, announced on Tuesday that she has switched her commitment to Georgia. Smith was previously committed to Alabama. The announcement comes in the wake of former head coach Dana Duckworth’s departure from Alabama three weeks ago. Ryan Reynolds, Alabama’s bars coach under Duckworth, was recently hired at Georgia. It’s the latest in a series of high-profile recruiting moves and flips by beleaguered Georgia head coach Courtney Kupets-Carter, who led the Bulldogs to the team’s worst finish in decades this season. Ariel Posen (UCLA) and JaFree Scott (Florida) also chose Georgia over higher-ranked alternatives, while Kentucky star Josie Angeny will be taking her fifth year of eligibility at Georgia.
