NCAA 2026 Transfer Portal

Come to Georgia

 

[AmiK]

I have confirmation from someone that it is not a rumor. But, yeah, I assume Georgia.

 

[MaryClare]

The Reddit meltdown is already delicious

 

[MaryClare]

Come to Georgia

I’m really glad you mentioned this. It’s such an out of the box idea that no one else could have possibly thought of it

 

[AmiK]

I do hate that she didn’t get to announce it on her own terms. ETA: I realize that sounds hypocritical since I posted it but it was all over FB and Reddit already.

I mean, she could have announced it as soon as she entered the portal, which gymcastic are reporting as just after nationals

That’s fair

 

[rlayt]

Yep. More confirmation.

 

[QuietColours]

It honestly sounds like she released that because the news broke elsewhere. Doesn't seem like she tried to get ahead of it (she may have been hoping it would resolve faster)

Ariel Posen to LSU will be somewhat overshadowed. But it’s far from a regular transfer. Can anyone think of someone else who was medically retired by one top programme, transfer to another top programme?

I’m not coming up with an out of box idea- I’m simply asking her to come to Georgia.

 

[RedBirdie]

Well, I see all the crazy transfer news happened while I was driving home. Holy shit on both.

 

[Bogwoppit]

Wowza, that was not on my bingo card.

 

[BB12]

Feels like Georgia is going to try to be Florida 2.0 as an elite hub.

 

[RedBirdie]

I think it’s just a rumour at this stage, but linked with the rumour that Georgia are about to announce Laurent…

I guess too that as much as she seems happy at Arkansas, she might be a little disappointed at how her ncaa career has gone so far. She must be one of the least successful world/olympic team gymnasts in college? Other than those who were too injured

I imagine she's looking to move to a more successful team, but surely that will mean never doing vault or bars again. She can't crack the Arkansas line up for vault, she's sure as heck not going to at a top tier school. Her bars is likely not going to be used at a top school, either.

Maybe being at a top school she'll finally get a 10 thrown her way on beam or floor. Which would just be further proof that NCAA Gymnastics is more performance art than actual sport, but hey, she can say she got a ten.

Are you saying Roberson could never actually earn/deserve a 10?

 

[RedBirdie]

Nothing she's shown so far leads me to believe she'll fix the built in issues that keep her from 10s.

What are her built in issues that keep her from getting a 10? …Particularly on beam where she has gotten a 10 from at least on judge. I’m honestly curious.

Supposedly Oklahoma has a transfer coming in for a visit tomorrow, which would mean someone currently on the roster is leaving early or one of the incoming freshman is not coming on time. I know 3 of them have had surgery this season. Also heard Caitlin Smith will be done, since she needs another shoulder surgery. It was great to see her hit those bar routines at Nationals after all the injuries she's had.
