I think that all depends on how they left…did they burn bridges? That being said, I don’t see many coming back. The original comment you replied to has some validity to it.
Audi Crooks to Transfer
- Thread starter Clone5
- Start date
I don’t think it’s all NIL related but it’s hard to blame Audi or Addy after staying 3 years for “less than their market value” and underperform expectations/ have disappointing season in a row.
Like why am I staying here if I’m not winning like we expected to AND not make what I’m worth

My guess is that it is 90% NIL related.
Agreed. If it was 20 years ago would she transfer at this point? I doubt it.
I should clarify- BF’s roster issue is not all NIL related, but it’s certainly part of it- esp with the big 3
I think there are three possible outcomes:
1. She goes to a team that adapts to her. She's the centerpiece of their system and doesn't have to change much. She does what she did here but makes more money.
2. She goes to a higher level program and becomes a piece of their system. She's not the focus but is a critical piece. They play to her strengths, help her improve, but limit her minutes to minimize weaknesses. She's like an elite closer in baseball. They are critical to winning but not in every game.
3. She goes to a high-level program that rapidly develops her into the player she can be. She vastly improves her defense and stamina. She dominates WBB next year.
I doubt AC wants #2. #3 is possible but requires a new level of commitment. #1 is easiest for AC, but that team will be capped by her own limitations.
If I had to predict, I'd put my money on #1. She goes to a program that mostly adapts to her but one that has better pieces/coaching than ISU did. She helps them win games but its still not enough to get them to a championship level. She'll score lots of points and get lots of attention from national media next year, much to the consternation of us ISU fans.
My money had been on OU as the landing spot. As I think about it, she'd get dominated by the athletes in the SEC by going there. My gut says somewhere in the B1G like Nebraska, Maryland, or UCLA.
My opinion and $2.59 will get you a slice of Casey's breakfast pizza.
Casey’s pizza is like 3.49 slice. So your opinion is worth 90 cents plus tax. More than most.
If it’s about $$, and I honestly think it’s about 50/50 $$ and BF coaching. What’s stopping these girls ( Audi, Addy, Jada) and others, to go out and sign their own NIL … put the agents to work and “ go git ya some “ .
Don’t wait for people to come to you, seek out your own best deals
You don't think these girls have enough on their plate already that now they're supposed to go out and be self-rainmakers? With all of their 20-year-old business acumen and legal knowledge? LOL. You can't say "well, their agent can line up those deals" either, these aren't professional athletes (yet), they don't have professional rainmaker agents like the pros do. In fact, most of the "agents" for college athletes right now barely qualify as agents in the traditional sense. I fear many of these kids are going to be taken financial advantage of them.
I said this a week or more ago in the Bill thread, but noting it will be nearly impossible for ISU to get to the final four in WBB, due to lack of parity at the top, there’s literally reason to be mad at someone like Audi or Addy for choosing to either go to one of those teams that actually does have a chance…or to just take a big paycheck. ISU leadership has nothing to be ashamed of with the program they have. They just would have invest significantly more to change things. That likely isn’t in either possible or in the best interest of the university at this time.
Yep, it 80% culture and if we’d have performed up to expectations, these transfer would be limited. But, since it would likely be a disaster with the same coaching staff, the players said screw or, let’s max out our earning potential.
Woujd be the same on the men’s side, but TJ is a much better culture guy than Fennelly.
These girls also don’t have the same earning potential. It’s changing a little bit, but I was good friends with a multi-time All American in college, and she did not get much post-college. It would have likely been a very good decision for her to go get whatever she could have if that had been an option.
It’s not. If you watched games you’d know given the makeup of the team their success was limited.
Let’s see where they end up and evaluate the makeup those teams. No guarantee that they’ll be tourney winning teams.
If she transfers out of state and Fareway still puts her on their commercials, I'm boycotting Fareway. (Lucky for me I go to Hy-vee and Aldi anyway).
Coaching is one issue, players performing is another it is a 2 way street.
Playing time. The age old reason for a non-starter to transfer.
So they are transferring away from a team with 3 players because they are worried about competing for playing time?
