Audi Crooks is headed to Oklahoma State, giving the Cowgirls a major boost out of the women's college basketball transfer portal.
The former Iowa State star announced her commitment in a video wearing an Oklahoma State uniform, dancing alongside Cowgirls head coach Jacie Hoyt.
Crooks entered the portal earlier this month, immediately becoming one of NCAA basketball's most sought-after players.
She leaves Iowa State following a dominant junior season. The 6-foot-3 center averaged 25.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 65% from the field. She finished 2025/26 as the second-leading scorer in the country while earning Second Team AP All-American honors.
That production made her the portal's top player — as well as a potential game-changer for Oklahoma State.
The move keeps Crooks in the Big 12, where she has already established herself as an elite interior players. Oklahoma State is coming off a 24-win season and NCAA tournament appearance, while Iowa State finished seventh in the conference on a 22-10 record.
Crooks's impact goes beyond scoring. Her efficiency in the paint, footwork, and ability to control tempo make her one of the most unique frontcourt players in the country. She also brings consistency, earning multiple All-Big 12 honors during her time at Iowa State.
Now, the focus shifts to what this means for Oklahoma State women's basketball.
Crooks joins a roster that is continuing to build through the transfer portal, positioning the Cowgirls as a team to watch heading into the 2026/27 NCAA season.
For Crooks, the move offers one more year to build on an already-standout college career — this time with a new program and elevated expectations.
