NCAA Seniors COVID year eligibility Yay or Nay!

[One]

Victoria and Alyssa did something similar, thanking their teammates and the assistant coaches but did not mention Kupets.

 

[cuuf]

Victora just signed with Florida. I think UF gets one more transfer.

I think UF gets one more transfer.

Could it be Norah Flatley?

Curious that Victoria signed with Florida…she probably won’t get much competition time.

 

[cuuf]

Could it be Norah Flatley?

Hmmmm, lol

I think for Victoria it was a comfort factor with Morgan? But I do think she can get in the line-ups, maybe not AA.

 

[rlayt]

Norah might decide to stay with different coaching. A new head coach usually brings in their own people so UCLA might be quite different.

 

[KristyJ]

Given the situation with the AD at UCLA, I don’t know if I hold much hope for Flatley staying there

 

[One]

Victora just signed with Florida

Does signing mean she was able to get a scholarship or that she just joined the team?

 

[cuuf]

She got a scholarship. I am fairly certain there will be one more transfer in and one transfer out. And one of the seniors not coming back (Trinity is coming back I am sure).

 

[irichluck21]

And one of the seniors not coming back

So likely Nya Reed or Savannah Schoenherr isn’t coming back.

Any idea on the transfer? I heard Alex Magee.

 

[Bananna]

Sandra Elsadek (Ball State) has announced she’s transferring to UGA for her fifth year.

 

[QuietColours]

Lynnzee Brown is coming back for a sixth year at Denver, and Alexandria Ruiz is taking a fifth

 

[blake]

I didn’t realize Lynnzee was eligible for another year. Fingers crossed for a healthy 2023 for her!

 

[irichluck21]

I didn’t realize Lynnzee was eligible for another year.

Yes. I believe she was able to petition her 2020 year and get it as a red-shirt season. She was injured shortly after the season started and missed February and March meets and then COVID happened.

 

[irichluck21]

Ah! So Brown gets a 6th year because she was able to red-shirt her 5th year season…2022 as she was injured in January and had competed in less than 30% of the meets.
Great news that she is going to return though I am curious what she will end up competing. Maybe just bars and beam.
Denver is getting back everyone including all seniors for an additional year so they are in good shape to improve drastically from this year where they still exceeded everyone’s expectations.

 

[Bananna]

Well, this wasn’t on my bingo card! Abby Brenner to Utah. She’ll be a big help to Utah, who don’t have a very big class coming in.

 

[irichluck21]

Yeah, Michigan didn’t have anymore scholarships open and the one they had went to Wojick.

 

[Bananna]

Florida’s Halley Taylor has announced she’s taking a fifth year, which has surprised me. Now, I wonder how much longer it’ll be before the announcement that everyone is waiting to hear.

 

[blake]

which has surprised me

I don’t think she was ever on scholarship, so there wouldn’t be any problem with her taking a 5th year since she did 4 years as a walk-on. After not competing much her first few seasons and getting injured this year, she probably wants redemption.

I’m guessing the decision of whose scholarship(s) to drop if Trinity and Nya both want to take a 5th year is why it’s taking so long for their announcements.

I am pretty sure that Rowland reserved scholarships for all her seniors. Only DiCello was signed.
Part of the reason JaFree Scott changed to Georgia is that they didn’t offer her the scholarships.

 

[cuuf]

Halley is a 3rd generation Gator, she was taking another year regardless. She was awarded a one year scholarship I believe last year when they had an extra slot. But she is one of those bleed orange and blue.

I believe they are waiting for one more transfer. But honestly things have been pretty quiet for the last couple of weeks that I haven’t heard anything.
