One of women's college basketball's top players enters transfer portal

The women's basketball transfer portal just got a lot more interesting. Iowa State star Audi Crooks announced on social media Thursday that she has entered the portal in advance of her final season of NCAA eligibility. Crooks is the latest Iowa State women's player to explore transferring , signaling a mass exodus of the team that fans in Ames have come to know over the last couple of years.

Losing Crooks would be difficult to rebound from given her accolades over the last three seasons. The Cyclones' junior center averaged nearly 26 points per game this season, to go along with seven rebounds per night.
