Ex-Iowa State star Audi Crooks has found a home, ending weeks of speculation by announcing she’ll transfer to Oklahoma State for her senior year.
Crooks finished the 2025/26 NCAA season second in DI scoring with 25.8 points per game while shooting 64.9% from the field, building on a career 22.8-point, 7.7-rebound-per-game average.
"We are thrilled with the addition of Audi," said Cowgirls head coach Jacie Hoyt in a team statement.
"She has elite size and strength paired with elite hands and touch that allow her to be an automatic bucket around the rim. The last three years I've watched team after team strategize and game plan around stopping her and almost all have failed miserably."
The 6-foot-3 center joins touted Florida transfer Liv McGill in Stillwater, after the rising junior averaged 22.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists last season.
"Liv is arguably the most exciting player to watch in all of college basketball. She has elite quickness and an unbelievable finishing package around the rim," Hoyt said, praising the 5-foot-9 guard.
"Liv can score at all three levels, but she is so much more. She has great court vision and can deliver a pass on a dime. Her speed and athleticism allow her to jump passing lanes on the other end of the floor."
NCAA Transfer Portal Closes as Top Players Find New Teams
The 2026 NCAA transfer portal closed Monday night, ending its official entry period — though players already in the portal can still commit to new schools.
Some big names opted to stay put, as Virginia guard Kymora Johnson announced she’ll exit the portal and return to the Cavaliers under new coach Aaron Roussell.
Others are heading out, as Texas guard Jordan Lee goes to South Carolina, Iowa State guard Jada Williams joins LSU, Georgia guard Dani Carnegie moves to Iowa, and Tennessee guard Talaysia Cooper lands at Ole Miss.
