I admit I wasn't Jay's biggest fan during 2022. At the time felt he relied too much on the Super Seniors instead of letting underclassmen get their shot. and it was kinda a wasted year.

it matters not tho everything happens for a reason. iirc at that regional Aleah fell on the last rotation (beam; desiderio fell to lead off so the pressure was super high) and we got eliminated because of it.
That was a learning expierience for her that maybe she drew from when it was time to step up last Saturday

I think he has adjusted

They started to put out those 2 pass floor routines after everyone else started getting away with it. He actually used his freshmen this year between Amari/Konnor, account for 5 of the 24 routines between those 2 alone.

Beam I feel they mentally became much stronger. Some of that is experience gained (Aleah especially) and the addition of someone like Konnor. But I will say they developed the hell out of Ballard's beam set compared to where it was previously.

Now for next year, in terms of adjustments I'd love to see them tweak a couple of specific routines but how they use this incoming class will be fascinating. Its absolutely loaded.

While I doubted the staff in 2022, there's no doubt that their recruiting is the best in the country. We are bringing in one of the top L10 AAs (Kailin Chio), an Olympic-level floor worker with a good AA (Kaliya Lincoln), one of the most consistent elite AAs (Lexie Zeiss), and an Olympic-level bar worker (Zoe Miller). This will be one of the most talented NCAA teams ever, and I'm not even considering the possible 5th/6th years in Haleigh, Kiya, Sierra, Chase, and Alyona.
