Audi Crooks Transfers to Oklahoma State: Top Player in Women's Portal Leaves Iowa State, Stays in Big 12

On Sunday, All-American center Audi Crooks committed to Oklahoma State out of the NCAA Transfer Portal, securing the nation's leading scorer and top target among more than 1,500 available players.
Oklahoma State head coach Jacie Hoyt is revamping the roster following a second-round exit in the NCAA Tournament after the Cowgirls finished the 2025-26 season with a 24-10 record.
Hoyt also landed prominent Florida guard Liv McGill and Division II National Player of the Year Talexa Weeter from Fort Hays State, following nine players transferring out of Iowa State this offseason.
Crooks, a 6-foot-3 center, averaged 25.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting 64.9% from the floor last season, recording four 40-point games and earning second-team All-American honors.
Two-Time All-Big 12 selection Stailee Heard returns to join these recruits, positioning Oklahoma State as a contender with Heard averaging 13.8 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting 46% from the floor.
