The host sites for regionals are LSU, Kentucky, Arizona State and Oregon State. So obviously LSU will go through, Kentucky I could see being a "surprise" as a result of them hosting. I dont see Arizona state or oregon state with the firepower to pull a surprise. So OU, LSU, Florida, Utah.

This is an interesting contrast, where Hezley didnt sign at all, but Dulcy did sign and defer. Not sure if at the end of the day one is better than the other? I guess technically, Hezley NCAA clock doesnt start until she signs, while Dulcy clock has started and is using a redshirt year? Idk...

Really simple, Simone Biles. That's it, for the last 10+ years, the US has had the benefit of the greatest women's gymnast of all time. She was the constant X factor when it came to international team competition. She is gone, there is no-one that can replace her or approach her abilities...
Having my own child just go through this process as well as many of her friends and teammates, I can say not one of them find it uncomfortable or awkward. I can confidently say that for all of them it is the singular highlight of the visit. They complain when they schedule the shoots at the...
I'm in the camp of why be so condescending about these? I mean I get from one point of view they seem overdone and excessive, but try another point of view where it is a celebration of an accomplishment, and capturing some of the spirit and excitement of competing for that school. That's what...
In my opinion the home team crowd is nice, but the gymnasts lock them out and honestly I think some of them like the adrenaline rush. I think the real advantage is with the team being able to sleep in their own beds, get ready in their facility, and go through everything as if they are...
Wow, that is total homerism. How about this, do they have to bus or fly to a hotel? Do they have to sleep in a hotel prior to a meet? Have their team meals on conference space? Do stretch/conditioning/PT in makeshift room? Do they have to go through all the standard hassles and planning...
