Audi Crooks joining Oklahoma State women's basketball in transfer portal coup for Cowgirls
Oklahoma State women's basketball coach Jacie Hoyt landed the most talented player in the transfer portal in Iowa State center Audi Crooks on Sunday.
STILLWATER — Jacie Hoyt took another big swing in the transfer portal and landed one of the best players in women’s college basketball. Former Iowa State star Audi Crooks committed to Oklahoma State on Sunday, per On3. com , yet another major move in the portal for the Cowgirls.
A 6-foot-3 center, Crooks averaged 25. 8 points and 7. 7 rebounds while shooting 64.
9% from the floor as a junior this past season. Crooks was easily the most impactful player and most prominent name in the portal after a season in which she was named a second-team All-American by multiple outlets. Hoyt’s previous portal additions had been heavy on perimeter players.
And while Crooks doesn’t necessarily fit Hoyt’s preferred fast-paced style of play, the opportunity to add a future WNBA player is too rare to pass up. The Cowgirls have also added some prominent guards in this portal class, led by Florida transfer Liv McGill of Florida, who averaged 22. 5 points, 5.
