NLIs 2022-2023

MICHIGAN

Release

Kaylen Morgan
Farah Lipetz

Kaylen Morgan competed as a senior elite this year, finishing 21st at nationals and a little more than a point out of the Olympic Trials places. We were also allegedly supposed to see a couple more signings in this class, including Lily Clapper (sister of Leah Clapper), but nothing on that front.

OKLAHOMA

Release

Faith Torrez
Ava Siegfeldt

Oklahoma is one of the few top teams that actually lost quite a few important routines from the 2021 season and started to fall behind in the "ELITES ARE MIIIIINE" race to Florida, UCLA, and Utah in terms of the 2022 newcomers. With two of the best elite-to-NCAA gymnasts in this class, Oklahoma is restocking well. 

UTAH

Release

Makenna Smith

After a couple classes of loading up on elites, Utah has a small class with one L10 star for the 2023 season. Expect small-ish classes to be the norm this year for a bunch of teams as they have to start paring down from the super-sized rosters of 2022.

FLORIDA

Release

Kayla DiCello

It's another huge get for Florida on a roster that's alreay full of them, signing the top elite in this entire class in DiCello. Although, much of the interest comes in who is not in this release, at least thus far. Sophia Butler and JaFree Scott had also verbaled to be part of this class—and another signing period has gone by with no mention of Shilese Jones.

ALABAMA

Release

Karis German
Zoe Gravier
Lauren Little
Gabby Gladieux
Lillian Lewis
Rachel Rybicki

This is Alabama's largest and most recognizable class in a good long while, with German who nearly advanced to trials, Little who has been an elite for 915 years, and Gravier who was an MG Elite refugee who ended up at First State to do L10.

LSU

Release

Lilly Lippeatt
Annie Beard
Bryce Wilson

Some big names in this LSU class, with Lippeatt as one of the more recognizable elites of this year's class along with Beard, who competed as a Texas Dreams elite for a while. Wilson joins them as one of the top L10 vaulting recruits of the year.

CAL

Release

eMjae Frazier
Casey Brown
Miki Adrenito

Frazier is the name of the group and will be a major addition as Cal becomes more accustomed to recruiting top athletes now given the last couple classes. This class was also supposed to include British elite Ondine Achampong, so keep an eye on whether she signs at a later date or not.

MINNESOTA

Release

Brooklyn Rowray
Seria Johnson
Sarah Moraw

Moraw was just a Senior A last spring when she won the title at L10s. At the same competition, Rowray had strong finishes on BB/FX as did Johnson on VT.

ARIZONA STATE

Release

Kimmy Smith

DENVER

Release

Ava Mabanta
Mila Brusch
Cecilia Cooley
Kiley Rorich

Sister alert in this class with the younger sisters of Isabel Mabanta and Aria Brusch signing.

KENTUCKY

UCLA

Ciena Alipio
Selena Harris

UCLA has tweeted about these two—the two who had already verbaled—both of whom should be major contributors. Harris is one of the best options from the junior-elite-to-NCAA-star pipeline in this class. But they've delayed on putting out a comprehensive release, leaving the door open for the announcement of some secret international elite we didn't know about, or something. Or, they're just being all UCLA about it and the official release will come when Fran gets around to it.
