Some people already want to see a Suni statue outside of Neville Arena. I think she will get one when all is said and done…

Suni is a recruiting machine. She landed Olivia Greaves and almost managed to flip Faith Torrez (Oklahoma signee) last minute.

This team is still relatively young. We are losing Drew Watson (very solid) but hopefully we can keep Gobourne (she could be a super senior or grad student next year). We will then add Olivia Greaves who is a 5-star elite gymnast and should generate some extra hype. Auburn could win the SEC championship next year. We could be even a pre-season favorite. SEC: LSU: They could be the top SEC team next year. They will be more experienced, adding top 4-stars Annie Beard, Bryce Wilson, and Lily Lippeat. Florida: They should lose T.Thomas, Nya Reed, Alyssa Baumann and Megan Skaggs to graduation (big losses). but they are just reloading with 5-star elite Kayla DiCello, and 5-star L10s Sophia Butler and Jafree Scott (however some rumors that Butler and Scott still have to sign with the Gators and are having second thoughts). Morgan Hurd (2017 World Champion) will be back from her injury. Alabama: Losing Lexie Graber to graduation is a huge loss for them. They could also lose Canadian Olympian S.Olsen to graduation. They are adding Gabby Gladieux (5star L10). I think they will take a step back. Arkansas: They are getting more competitive adding 5-star Morgan Price. However, the entire coaching staff could leave for UCLA.

SEC games are pricey but cupcake games are still affordable…

“Both teams hit the highest score recorded anywhere in the country this season” ”The 198.575 is the fourth-highest score ever scored in NCAA history. The meet marks the highest cumulative score in a two-team meet ever.” https://oanow.com/sports/college/auburn/one-ninety-eight-auburn-hits-massive-198-milestone-against-florida/article_2164912a-9c2f-11ec-b679-b3956f510a92.html

What a fantastic score and I think there might be still some potential to improve…

They still have tickets available (standing room only, $6)

#6 Auburn vs #3 Florida should be an epic battle this Friday (sold out). Auburn will have to score 198.00+ (would be a school record) to win a share of the SEC championship. Florida is stacked this year: - Riley McCusker - 5star Freshman, Team USA, 2018 World champion. - Leann Wong - 5star Freshman, Silver medal at 2021 Worlds in Japan, Team USA, Olympic Alternate - Morgan Hurd - 5star Freshman, 2017 World All-around Champion, Team USA, currently injured - Trinity Thomas - Senior and NCAA superstar (might win the AAI award / Heisman of gymnastics) - Nya Reed - Senior and NCAA superstar + several other top gymnasts who would be superstars at other SEC teams “This Friday night, they’ll be in the same building, as No. 6 Auburn hosts No. 3 Florida in the biggest home meet in Auburn Arena history.”

Aria Brusch story - she is also having a great season: ‘Being that role model’: Auburn’s Brusch inspires through perseverance By Greg Ostendorf https://auburntigers.com/news/2022/2/28/gymnastics-being-that-role-model-auburns-brusch-inspires-through-perseverance.aspx

Btw, is there a chance that Gobourne will be back next year? Maybe as a grad student athlete (similar to Drew Watson)?

I really want to crack 198!

It seems like the other Olympians (Jade, Jordan, Leann) are getting their “Olympian bonus” while Suni really has to work hard for her 10s…

Absolutely and not the first time this happened to her.

Florida is insanely talented though!

The judge asked Suni for a photo because she is the GOAT 😆

Is this in preparation to get to the ultimate goal, the Cheng?
