With six titles in the past nine years, KJ Kindler has Oklahoma rolling as NCAA gymnastics’ modern dynasty. The championship culture she’s fostering is unmatched, as she’s been ultra-proficient at recruiting the top athletes in every class who fit the Sooners’ style and helping most of them reach their maximum potential. With another top class on the way to replace the few routines lost from this season’s title-defending team, Oklahoma will be the favorite to three-peat in 2024 and is the No. 1 team in the way too early rankings for next season.
Much of the top 10 looks similar to what we saw to end the 2023 season, as the leading programs are keen at reloading with classes oozing with potential. There are a few surprises—like a surging Pac-12 as five-star recruits flock to the West Coast—but the transfer portal and COVID year announcements will certainly shake things up throughout the summer.
Taking into consideration the 2023 season, departing routines, newcomers, the coaching carousel, and everything else the offseason has to offer, here’s a way too early look at the top 20 teams for the 2024 season. Any eligible athletes who hadn’t declared a COVID season before publishing were considered losses.
No. 1 Oklahoma
The Sooners’ dynasty isn’t…
