I saw her picture in cap & gown ... congratulations on graduating early but sounds like she may be pursuing a graduate education early. ..... Would be a monumental loss with Mya and Maddie out of eligibility and graduating

Cal is one of the top half dozen programs in the country so why jump ship? She would have been the leader of the team along with Ondine Achampong next season. I have to admit that most of the Cal recruits over the last three cycles have not turned into star gymnasts. Three of the four All-Arounders all came to Berkeley in the same recruit class that just graduated. The only AA returning was going to be eMjae Frazier. The Bears will not be an elite program next season unless they can bring in some major talent via the transfer portal.

It's one of the drawbacks of having so many all arounders. But this year a number of gymnasts saw action. I count 7-8 will be asked to step up. A good number of them are four and five star recruits. There is a lot of talent. Plus incoming Tonya Paulson is an Olympian. She probably could do all around right away. But yes they should bring in a veteran or two. Or hopefully Ella comes back. The team probably takes a dip as we lose so much talent

If she transfers to a SEC team you will have your answer

FB and MBB are already dominated with their huge NIL war chests

WBB was the next sport to fall to the SEC freight train

Softball has started that sliding slope, and probably not far behind is women's gymnastics

Even T&F is impacted ... Cal track star Aysha Shaheed is transferring to Texas A&M

Good ol gymternet already put up graphic showing what Cal is losing if eMjae is indeed going to grad school elsewhere and if Ella, Jordan or Abbey don't use their redshirt.

The gymternet is also actively recruiting gymnasts to transfer to Cal!

We have some top swimming recruits, especially the women & men coming in 2025 and 2026. I'm just afraid they will be picked off by these richer schools, especially Texas.

Do we know for sure that this isn't about money and that maybe she has an opportunity to further her education combined with another top notch gym program?

Yeah given she graduated early maybe it is educational driven. Also I believe she from Jersey so maybe she wants to be closer to home for her last season.



One Cal gym fan's early predictions above tweet.

This is Ondine's team now. Her and Paulson are very experienced in high level international competitions. Think we will be fine on bars and floor. The other two events is where we might need a veteran or two.
