Audi Crooks, a two-time All-American and the nation's leading scorer in women's college basketball last season, has committed to play for Oklahoma State out of the transfer portal. Crooks, a 6-foot-3 native of Algona, Iowa, was a three-time All-Big 12 selection at Iowa State, where she averaged 22.8 points per game over her career. She will join a revamped Oklahoma State roster that also includes the addition of Florida guard Liv McGill and several other high-profile transfers.

Why it matters

Crooks' transfer to Oklahoma State is a major coup for the Cowgirls, who are looking to build on a second-round NCAA Tournament appearance last season. The addition of Crooks, one of the most dominant inside scorers in the country, along with other talented transfers, makes Oklahoma State an instant contender in the Big 12 and a potential Final Four team.

The details

Crooks, who led the nation in scoring at 25.8 points per game this past season, has a career field goal percentage of 61.1%, which ranks fifth all-time in Big 12 women's basketball history. She is known for her efficient scoring around the basket, using a variety of post moves and footwork to get past defenders. Despite her individual success, Crooks never advanced past the first round of the NCAA Tournament with Iowa State.

• Crooks committed to Oklahoma State out of the transfer portal in late April 2026.
• This past season, Crooks led the nation in scoring with 25.8 points per game.

What’s next

Oklahoma State will look to integrate Crooks and the other new transfers into the team's system during the offseason, with the goal of making a deep run in the 2027 NCAA Tournament.
