(GYM) Gymnastics 2024 - 2025

2025 recruits national signing starts on Wednesday, 11/13.

Three are expected to sign with UF:

Jocelyn Sasson, 5 stars on College Gym Fans and College Gym News, is capable of performing all around. According to College Gym News, Jocelyn had an issue with self confidence in the past, but she transferred from the Northwest to Brandy Johnson's Gymnastics and nothing more has been reported on this. She does show scores this year competing as an all arounder.

Madelyn Dorbin, 5 stars on College Gym Fans and College Gym News, is a highflyer on floor and will likely be performing on bars and beam. We'll have to wait to see what she is bringing to vault.

Amelia Disidore, 4.5 stars on College Gym Fans and 4 stars on College Gym News, is a bit of a mystery over the last year. Amelia is UF gymnast Gabby Disidore's sister. In 2023, Amelia was on the US Senior National Team. Her number of performances dropped off significantly in the last year which leads me to think she may be coming off injury although I don't know that to be the case. Until the last year, Amelia was performing all around, lots of videos from 2022 and 2023. We'll just have to wait and see what she brings to UF. Gabby was consistently in the bars lineups as a freshman.

There are several 2025 class 3-star gymnasts not committed elsewhere who could come in to help on specific events in the 2026 season. I just can't see this happening. It would be a surprise if UF signs another freshman.

I do see UF looking into the transfer portal for help in 2026 as UF with these 3 signing will only have 15 gymnasts for the 2026 season.

EDIT: UF is up to 16 with the surprise addition of Ly Bui.

College Gym News projected 2026 season roster with no changes:

Lori Brubach
Selena Harris-Miranda
Alyssa Arana
Kaylee Bluffstone
Kayla DiCello
Gabby Disidore
Skylar Draser
Danie Ferris
Anya Pilgrim
Skye Blakely
Lily Bruce
Taylor Clark
Amelia Disidore
Madelyn Dorbin
Jocelyn Sasson
Ly Bui

Bolded = True Freshmen

EDIT: Added surprise 5-star US Senior National Team Member Ly Bui.

This is a terrific surprise pickup:

US Senior National Team Member. Ly scored 14.100 on vault and 13.400 on bars in the 2024 US Championships. She did not compete on beam or floor. Ly is world class on vault and bars and scores good on beam and floor, lower 12s.

The picture above shows Ly as 4 stars on College Gym News, but CGN shows her now as 5 stars. Ly is rated 4.5 stars on College Gym Fan.

UF is lucky to pick up a quality talent like Ly as a surprise signing on national signing day.

 

CJR hasn't announced her signings on floridagators.com yet so I'm fairly certain UF is still expecting Amelia Disidore to sign today.

With the surprise addition of Ly Bui, the 2025 recruiting class has turned into an outstanding class in terms of numbers and talent.

 

Amelia Disidore is in:

Mother Sonya Disidore says she will be glad to see her daughters back together again soon.

Amelia is in line with the type of gymnasts CJR has been recruiting. Need to look back to 2023 to see her potential:

2023 Core Hydration Classic 8/4/2023

Amelia finished 8th in the meet:

https://www.mymeetscores.com/meet.pl?meetid=86360&gymnastid=21358898

That's 8th with lots of names you will recognize on the list. Clearly, Amelia's potential is very high.

She also did very well in the Xfinity US Championships:

2023 Xfinity U.S. Championships (W) - MyMeetScores.com

Again, Amelia was in with a lot of recognized names, a lot of Gators.

I'm not sure what brought her to St. Thomas Aquinas, but UF's write up shows STA as the school of her graduation.

 

What a terrific class! That's two 5-star gymnasts, one 4.5/5-star gymnast, and a 4/4.5-star gymnast based on ranking at College Gym Fan and College Gym News. I don't know how this class will rank in College Gym News class of 2025 rankings because of the surprise addition of 5-star Ly Bui on signing day.

It was kind of funny over on Tiger Droppings Gymnastics Recruiting. They immediately noticed when UF picked up Ly Bui as another 5-star gymnast in the 2025 class. It was like "Oh Man!"

UF will stack the highly ranked 2026 class of 4 on top of the class of 2025.

With rosters being allowed to go up to 20 in women's gymnastics, look for a few pleasant transfers along the way for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

Go Gators!

 

Signing Classes of Other Top Teams - The Rich Get Richer:

EDIT to add Arkansas, a heckuva class for the piggies.

Arkansas signed 6 gymnasts, three 5-stars, two 4-stars, and one unranked local product:

Arkansas Gymnastics Inks No. 2 2025 Signing Class | Arkansas Razorbacks

Alabama signed 2, a 5 star and a 4 star, but has an as yet unsigned 5 star on the 2025 commitment list. The unsigned 5-star gymnast can sign from now until August 1 to remain in the class of 2025:

Signing

California signs 3 including top international gymnast from Sweden:

Cal Women’s Gymnastics Pens 2025 Recruits - California Golden Bears Athletics

LSU signs #3 class as rated by College Gym News:

LSU Gymnastics Signs No. 3 Recruiting Class – LSU

Oklahoma signs #1 class as rated by College Gym News:

Kindler Signs Nation’s No. 1 Class for 2026 - University of Oklahoma

UCLA signs 4 gymnasts:

UCLA Gymnastics Signs Four Standouts for 2026 Season - UCLA

Utah signs 3 Gymnasts:

Red Rocks Sign National Elite and Two National Champions to 2025 Class - University of Utah Athletics

 

The new ranking will be released on 11/30/2024.

Current Ranking as of 10/31/2024:

1. Oklahoma
2. Arkansas
3. LSU
4. Florida

This was before the surprise signing of Ly Bui by UF.

My view of who the top 4 should be on 11/30 with no further changes:

1. Arkansas - top 5 signed are better than OU's 4, three 5 stars and two 4 stars.

2. Oklahoma - drops to 2nd even though they signed the #1 & #2 gymnasts in the 2025 class, three 5 stars & one 4 star.

3. Florida - With the addition of Ly Bui, the Gators should move up to #3 signing three 5 stars & one 4 star.

4. LSU - Excellent class signing three 5 stars, but only 3 signed.

Keep in mind that College Gym News has a bias for Oklahoma in their coverage. It'll be interesting to see if they elevate Arkansas to #1, a close call based on quality and quantity combined. CGN awards brownie points for gymnasts with higher rating scores as set by them. Signing the top 2 rated gymnasts in the class gets those brownie points for OU.

The Sooners have the #1 and #3 rated gymnasts in the 2026 class. Presley Duke, the #1 gymnast by a wide rating score, hasn't had the national or international experience that our 2026 gymnasts have to justify that lofty rating. She has being from Oklahoma plus a commitment to OU to thank for her exceptional rating score. Madray Johnson, the #3 rated gymnast, has better experience than Presley Duke. Johnson is the only one in OU's 2026 class that is in the same circles with the four in UF's 2026 class.

I'll take any of UF's 2026 committed gymnasts as they have been tested under national and/or international meet conditions. Xfinity US Gymnastic Championships 2024:

12. Simone Rose
14. Dulcy Caylor
15. Madray Johnson
16. Jayla Hang
19T. Kieryn Finnell

OU with 7 commitments will get CGN's #1 2026 class ranking and brownie points when it drops. UF in 2026 is getting the experience and proven talent.

 

A huge thank you to Dr. Sam for posting this about UF's 2026 class:



Dr. Sam, PhD

All four 2026 Florida commits are in the Top 8 of @InsideGym Super 16:

2. Simone Rose
3. Jayla Hang
4. Dulcy Caylor
8. Kieryn Finnell

InsiderGym Super 16:

Inside Gymnastics Class of 2026 Super 16!

1. Hezley Rivera - as should be is #1 although she may not make it to LSU deferring until after the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics which is the rumor.

11. Presley Duke - College Gym News #1 by a wide CGN determined score is 11th on the Super 16 list and isn't even the highest rated OU gymnast.

Oklahoma Gymnasts in the Inside Gym Super 16:

6. Evey Lowe
7. Madray Johnson
11. Presley Duke
13 Sofia Estrada
16. Izzy Stassi

That is one more in the Super 16 than UF, but if giving accurate brownie points for higher rankings, they should go to UF, not OU. That would make UF the #1 2026 recruiting class on College Gym News. However, don't hold your breath thinking CGN isn't going to show their bias for Oklahoma as they usually always do.
