We didn’t necessarily expect this one to be a top 5 matchup when we saw it on the schedule, but welcome to reality! Arkansas impressed with a huge opening score last week at home, but now it’s time to see the Razorbacks take it on the road, Watch for freshman Priscilla Park, who did three events, and for grad transfer Sirena Linton.
For Alabama, it’s been a consistent start, with two low 197s and no particular signs of drama. A home opener is a great time to start building scores. Bars already looks god-tier for the Crimson Tide. Sticking a few vaults and keeping the beam jitters down could buy this team half a point easily with relatively minimal fundamental changes.
Rotation 1: Alabama VT, Arkansas UB
Missed some of this rotation because UF/Auburn is running over and my TV did NOT want to show the SECN+ version. It displayed the meet, but clicking on it just pulled up UF.Auburn again!
Blanco (Bama): One and a half, little hop straight forward.
Scalzo (Ark): Jaeger to overshoot, DLO short with a step forward.
Doggette (Bama): Just the FTY, little scoot back.
Park (Ark): Maybe a bit shy on the first handstand, toe to Ray. Hangs in the air for ages on her Pak, shy on the high bar handstand, DLO with a hop. 9.925
Adams (Bama): FTY, nice and…
