This year's recruiting class has been impacted by two major forces: the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics and the NCAA's new rules for Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). Normally, an Olympic year causes a relatively small number of potential high impact gymnasts to defer entry until the Games are completed. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics were pushed out by another year, causing an additional year of top athletes to defer entry. In addition, new rules on Name, Image and Likeness mean that athletes that may have foregone their NCAA eligibility are now able to continuing their careers in the NCAA, without foregoing lucrative opportunities to earn money. As a result, for the first time, a reigning Olympic AA champion has entered the NCAA as a frosh. See how all the top teams stack up in the 2021-2022 edition of our annual look at the Top 10 Recruiting Classes.
