The opportunities are there, Yoculan said, for them to make an impact. They're just not seizing them.
"You're going to see their character come out," she said. "You're either going to see them compete for what they want, for a lineup position, or they're going to crumble and you're not going to see them compete all year. It's up to them."
Kupets named SEC Athlete of the Week
Senior Gym Dog Courtney Kupets was named the SEC Athlete of the Week, as announced Tuesday.
In her first meet since tearing her Achilles last spring, Kupets, a five-time national champion and 10-time All-American, took the all-around title with a nation-high 39.45.
Yoculan said she felt Kupets may have been a little tight, trying to prove something in her return, but Kupets saw it a little differently.
"I don't have anything to prove to anyone in my opinion. It's all for me," she said. "I was definitely nervous. I was a little more nervous than normal, just hadn't really gotten into the flow yet, but that's what the beginning of the season will do for you."
