2026 Commits

Sofia Estrada to OU

OU getting all the recruits.

6 at this stage has to be some sort of record.

 

[Caligym]

So that means Oklahoma has 4 signed for next year and 6 for the year after….can their roster absorb that?

Yep. This would have them at the maximum 20 presuming everyone on the current roster stays.

I think KJ is expecting some of those elites are going to defer 2027 for Olympic run in 2028.

Johnson mentioned continuing with elite in her announcement post, so yeah, that's likely. Her extremely low chances for further success in elite notwithstanding...

I was told they are possibly waiting on one more. This is the class that replaces the class that only had Torrez and Seigfeldt in it.

Has Florida gotten any 2026 recruits yet?

No, and according to College Gym News, only 2 other 2026's (Molomo and Rose) have went on visits to Florida.

Sofia Estrada and Hezly Rivera both visited Florida as well but committed to other OU and LSU.

Michelle Pineda to UCLA.

Found this today, super helpful.
Gives all the gymnasts, their visits, and ultimately who they selected.

How does the rating system work? For instance, why is Simone Rose rated 4 when there are L10s rated 5?

It's an unofficial ranking system done by gym fans.

Methodology and Details​

Where did the numbers come from?​

We gave athletes scores from 0-25 on each event and added the four events up to create a final rating. Gymnasts with a total score of 78-plus received five stars, those between 63 and 77 received four and those between 48 and 62 received three.

For level 10 gymnasts, event totals are composed of a possible 13 score points and 12 video review points. Score points are derived from data—specifically, the same analysis of gymnasts’ scores that we use for our Most Anticipated series. The key component of score points is an average of a gymnast’s scores on a certain event from the past two years, but career bests and consistency are also factored in.

The 12 video review points per event are allocated based on characteristics like amplitude, technique and landings. Multiple videos of each event are reviewed by three to five editors to produce the most balanced rating possible.

For gymnasts who competed primarily elite or outside the US in the past two years, all 100 points are assigned from video review since elite scores correlate much less closely with NCAA success. These video review points are allocated slightly differently to factor in the likelihood of reduced difficulty fixing certain issues in elite routines.

Why are some level 10 gymnasts rated higher than elites?​

There are two main reasons. First, although elites usually compete more difficult and longer routines than level 10 gymnasts, their execution often incurs a greater number of deductions. Second, the criteria with which we evaluate elites are different from L10s. We base it exclusively on video review, as we do not take into consideration elite scores, which bear little correlation with the collegiate scoring system.

More generally, it is important to bear in mind that level 10 and elite gymnastics are two different worlds with very different requirements. As some elites can be competitive in their field without becoming collegiate standouts, some L10s are outstanding in their own field without ever becoming (or attempting to become) Olympic hopefuls.

Please also note, nevertheless, that execution issues in elite do not necessarily reflect lower scores in college. MyKayla Skinner, for example, scored as high as 9.975 on bars at Utah, even though her elite routine had evident execution flaws.

I love that two Swedish gymnasts are going to be in NCAA. They are gorgeous gymnasts and will be well received in NCAA.
