Olympic gold medal champion gymnast from NJ commits to LSU

[Fat Koko]

Hezly Rivera of Oradell commits to LSU, she announced on Instagram last week.

"I am so blessed & excited to announce that I have verbally committed to Louisiana State University (LSU🙃) on a full athletic scholarship."

Hezly is a high school junior and aims to compete in LA in 2028, so it could be 5 years before she joins the LSU team, according to a report.

Pike proved the top recruits in the country can be attracted to Rutgers to compete in the RAC.

Would be super for Rutgers to work to get Hezly to change her commitment to Rutgers. College gymnasts usually stick around for four years and getting a gold medalist in the squad would be revolutionary for the program.

Our gymnastics program is an utter disaster right now, on the level of Chris Ash in football and mired in scandal. Why would any top gymnast consider Rutgers right now?

Some TKR posters disagree with your analysis.

One wrote, "Rutgers gymnastics concluded the 2024 regular season in grand fashion."

Another posted, 'ten highest gymnastics meet scores EVER occurred in either '23 or '24." (emphasis not mine). "Real improvement in the program."

According to many, the program's situation is so bright, we need to wear shades.

I think it's more the team isn't as bad as they used to be as shown by the meet scores. It's the same story as many RU teams. They started way behind other B1G schools and finding it difficult catching up.
