Audi Crooks (Iowa State Center)

[CatManTrue]

I just discovered this player via her 37 point game in a loss to Syracuse.

If she transforms her body and turns the bad weight into good weight then she could be unstoppable in the WNBA.

If she stays heavy then she’ll probably get run off the court as a pro. Or she should if the WNBA is a serious league.

Wow!! She’s fairly agile

 

[No Chores]

Yep, she led her team to a loss against lower-ranked Syracuse.

It’s pretty hypnotic to watch Iowa State’s offense: they repeatedly just pass it into her for an easy layup over a smaller defender, and if they collapse on her she just kicks it out for a wide open 3.

Part of me hopes she gets on the Barry Bonds diet and just destroys college basketball during her final season next year.

She will make way more money at Iowa State for that season than in the WNBA.

She’s only 6-3, this may be more of a Charles Barkley situation.

That’s pretty small for an NBA post though.

That’s less true now with the new Caitlin Clark revenue fueled CBA. Minimum rookie salary up to $270k.

LOL. A 9 seed beaten an 8 seed is lower ranked?

Crooks scored 37 of ISU’s 63 points on 17 of 25 shooting (68%!).

The rest of her team shot 9 from 32 (28%) ; including 3 of 22 from 3.

I’m not sure I’d assign blame to her.

She’s going to perish at her current weight. Forget basketball, she needs an intervention. No one has the balls to admit it though because she’s a chick.

We’ll see. She’s not tall and one of the first baskets in the highlights is entirely made by her using her huge *** to body her defender out of the way and spin around them with a huge turning radius, so maybe it’s critical to her success

OK. I can point to many former Big Ten offensive linemen whom I know personally who are much heavier than her - well over 300 pounds - who do no cardio in their 40s and 50s and are just fine.

Some of them went to NU. Several played pro ball and still coach it. She will not “perish”.

She is a wealthy young woman who has all the means at her disposal to turn into the WNBA’s Shaq.

I hope she does. I’m a big man and am cheering her on. Clark & Greer never motivated me much. Cheering on Audi does

The WNBA’s Shaq? Let’s not go nuts, I repeat, she’s 6-3.
