Audi Crooks to Transfer

Agree. I really think a lot of fans over estimate the value of “legacy” especially at ISU. A 500k raise for one year probably would cover more than the loss of legacy.

For one Audi already has a deal with JC Penny’s that is completely separate from ISU and Iowa.
JC Penny still exists?

Liabilities maybe but they didn’t refuse to play a morsel of defense. Opponents actually used her to screen their defenders to clear their path to the basket. How the **** is 36% from three as a team considered couldn’t shoot straight? It’s obvious your mind is set and I don’t give a ****. But just because you aren’t willing to see it doesn’t make it true.
I think the stats are biased by the early season success and memory is biased by the Big 12 inconsistency and the horrendous shooting the last two games.
 
She may want to,….. and no doubt will get drafted somewhere. How much and how long she plays is another story. That game is pretty fast compared to college basketball.
It doesn't matter whether or how long Audi plays in the W -- my point is that she wants and plans to experience the world beyond Iowa. She has already built a brand for herself that is powerful enough for her to leave ISU in the dust. She knows there is a place for her out there and she will cash in while doing so, this portal window as well as in her career beyond college. She could honestly be a model or an influencer or media personality quite easily. She has the personality and such a unique look and vibe. She killed the JC Penney spot. She is never going to have to take some random office job in Iowa and I'm doubtful she would even consider living in Iowa again.

Agreed for the most part. But if she moves to Oklahoma, what does she experience there beside maybe a useful change of coaching?

Could be where she lands. Not an auspicious path, Ames to Stillwater ...kinda sad.


Haven’t followed this much nor WBB. But as someone that’s been to Stillwater a lot and to games with a friend that has season tickets for all OSU sports. She will be playing in front of a few hundred people at GIA.

Last OSU men’s game I was at the announcer literally asked all fans to move closer to the floor as there were open seats everywhere. It was pretty sad.

let her be Oklahoma States problem. The system failed her since she arrived on campus here. Weather it was the coaches or Audi not wanting to get more in shape but she was the exact same player from freshman to Junior year. Good low post player but god awful on defense. The other 4 on okie state will get tired of making up for her lack of Defense.

Maybe she will attract fans. good test.
 
I like Oklahoma State - I am a safety consultant for an insurance company and my specialty is fire protection - OSU has an excellent Fire Protection Engineering program and I send a couple of my staff to seminars in Stillwater every year. They're generally in Stillwater for 4 days so I suggest they eat at Eskimo Joe's at least once!

Three years ago I sent one of my Millennials to Fire Protection School in Stillwater over the Summer months and he took his skateboard. He called me at home on the second night and reported he'd been banned from campus for "grinding" his skateboard on the handrails in front of the library. I had to call Campus Security and vouch for him so he could finish the course.

In 2025-26 Iowa State WBB shot 35.8±7.7% overall on threes and 37.0±9.0% in Big 12 games (the +/- are standard deviations between games).

We shot poorly from three in the Big 12 tourney game and the NCAA tourney game yes, but we were overall a very good three-point shooting team this season.
