Audi Crooks Feature that aired on ESPN this morning
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
That was really good, thanks for sharing!
I think her game would benefit from getting quicker and more mobile, and that likely involves dropping some weight, but criticizing her just simply for being big is of course inappropriate.

She has a lot of skill. Her size is of course an advantage, but losing weight would improve her game, and her long term health. Easier said than done for a lot of people though.
Eerie that her dad passed at 55 given how number that runs in the family.
Everything I've seen or heard about Audi speaks to her being a tremendous human being. She gets hate because some people are hateful and it's disgraceful.
She didn't answer if she would be back at ISU. Interesting.....
Wow…after watching this or reading the online story…people are still bringing up her weight. Folks…get a life. Put yourself in her shoes. What if she was your kid?
She’s an amazing human being, she’s a unique talent in the court and we have her.

Audi is simply one of the best representatives we’ve ever had wear the Cardinal and Gold.
Great player, great student, great teammate, and just a great kid.

this is part of the problem - you just couldn't post without putting in a weight comment AND you think you're somehow NOT part of the problem.
Just can't let her be the best to ever wear the cardinal and gold jersey smfh, we've had plenty of "quicker and more mobile" players and none of them touch her success.
If Audi leaves, there's a section of this fanbase that deserves what we get.
Unless I missed it, the question was never asked. You trying to start something thing that is not there.
JFC enjoy the great press for Audi and ISU, why can some folks just not enjoy the good.
JFC, you missed it. I'm not trying to start anything.
"After all the points, after all the rebounds, after all the praise and after all the criticism, Crooks isn't sure what's next. She knows she wants to play professionally, but she plans to finish college first. When asked if she will play at Iowa State, she pauses. She takes a breath. And doesn't answer the question."
She should take inspiration from Niang and how he shaped his body for his senior year. No call for all the mean people on there, obviously jealous fans of other programs, but she would take things to a whole other level if she developed physically more.
She is such a quality person. Her athleticism at her size is her super power. I think her issues on defense are more related to effort and expectations than athleticism. Bill could help her WNBA potential by focusing on her defense in the off season and then expecting better defense from her next year even if it means less minutes. I hope she has something special in store for the tournament.
Here is the long form article they did on her:
The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks
Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.
Like every good college player today, they must do what is in their best individual interest$. Hopefully that's Iowa state, but there will probably be other options to consider.
It will be tough if she decides it is about the $$ - as was mentioned earlier Olivia Miles at TCU received more than our entire team combines.
