Go get her. You can tell me all day long that she is only good for college ball. This is college ball. And yes her size may limit defense. But her scoring and rebounding is automatic. She would be a prized piece around which to build a team. I fear OU is coming for her. Suddenly, though the university is broke, they have wbb money to burn.

I don't know how she fits us but I would think our nutritional program, Banc and conditioning program would be good for her, if she wants to work on it. And you are right about scoring and rebounding strength.

Limit defense? She is a Bottom Ten defender.
she will score 25 for you but result in your opponents getting 40-50 easy points due to her lack of mobility.
She is a hard Hell No for any team with championship aspirations.
No. She might eat our tiny little point guards
Audi was 3 for 21 with 10 pts and 10 rbs the only time she matched up against Kiki Iriafen at Stanford during 2024 tourney with Kiki getting 41 puts on 17 of 23 shooting and 17 rbs. She did very well vs most centers and most teams don't have a center who can exploit that but many of the top teams do. She hurt us when we played in prior years. The considerable extra weight she appears to have gained has made her even less mobile.
Can we afford her? I'm guessing she'll demand a pretty big bag (no pun intended).

Lmao. Man oh man.
Getting a fat Crooks is a fireable offense in my eyes
Why the constant digs at Crooks? Don't want her either. But if that's a fireable in your eyes than CNC should have been fired years ago because her portal hails overall have been incredibly underwhelming

Is this thread not about her? Im responding and stating my opinion. It's mind boggling that we have people here who are willing to take her using NIL funds with no obligation to her dropping some weight.
I agree with the 2nd part. Outside of maybe 2 players, she's missed on the transfer portal.
Ain't no one in women's basketball scoring 40-50 points .. even against air..
UCLA vs Texas barely has 50 points combined in 4th quarter.

Very poor Cincinnati (11-20 final record) scored 71 against ISU with the vast bulk of the O coming in actions putting Crooks in Help D positions.
But those are simply facts.
Not sure how that box score supports your position.
Sounds like you would've traded Luka Doncic also.

Audi is a joy to watch. Good hands. Positions well. Needs better supporting cast around her. You guys can make fun all you want but her scoring makes her elite, when is the last time we had a post score 40 points? Audi does it on a regular basis.
Maybe having a team around her that presses a lot could give her more time to get down court and minimize time she has to play defense. She is definitely elite offensively and can rebound because she is so hard to move.

Well, not really. She did it 4 times in 32 games this past season (12.5%)

I don't she'll stay in the Big12; more $$ from larger state schools in SEC and elsewhere.

Think you are right. Now maybe a Big 10 Midwest school? Maybe?
Are we in the conversation?
How many other players scored 40 points four times. ZERO
How many ever do it in a given year. Less than 1 percent.

Will NEVER make pro ball. So, trying to maximize whatever paycheck she can get in college. Sad.

She will play pro ball. The Philippines or Poland or Mexico or Similar. But pro ball.

Why is that sad? She has a chance to make a ton of money. If she invests well and has a chance to play overseas, she can be set for life. She is just playing the game with the current "rules".
What is sad for Crooks is that her BMI is in the 38 to 40 range and making it to 50 years old will be amazing.
Given her size at 21 years old, her 30s and 40s will be brutal.

Audi ranked as number 1 transfer portal player
https://www.cbssports.com/womens-college-basketball/news/womens-college-basketball-transfer-portal-rankings/
Guess all those unstoppable points were seen by others as well.
Pick her up and Brown to go with her! Or just pick up Brown.

Has visit set up to Maryland. Rumored price tag $450-500K. Low compared to some players still out there.

Because her price tag is the actual market. Agents have heavily inflated these values to the point that people actually believe some players are getting 1.5 million plus
I'd like to hire her to clear cedar on the ranch but she's out of my wallet range.
Her teammate Addy Brown visiting Vandy, OU, and Notre Dame. Appears the Corn girls are all seeking greener (as in $) pastures outside of Big12.

Sounds Ike Audi may end up at Ok State. Huge ( literally) pickup with Liv if true.
