Do you want Crooks on Hawkeyes?

Fennelly might want to hang it up but he also wants his son to take over. Most Iowa State fans don't want that.
technically the portal doesn't officially open until Monday
she plans to enter would be the correct statement
Maybe? I think her lack of defensive effort could become a locker room problem however. She's also going to be looking for a big payday.
I wouldn’t say they did “really well”. Regarding Crooks, wherever she goes, I hope she can lose some weight…not only for her basketball career, but for her long-term health.
Isn't she super close to her Mom and wanted to be near her while in college? I could see a landing spot of something like Drake, or Creighton, or maybe Minny or Nebby. Maybe she goes back to ISU? Also, doesn't she have a certain disdain for Iowa? I doubt she'd even consider the Hawks but what do I know?
Ok boys, I need you to empty those wallets so we can land Audi.
Well we have a 3/4 who can shoot, which we didn't last season....
Huh, kind of surprising at first, but then a lot of her teammates portaled, so why not I guess. College sports are in trouble IMHO
It's LSU. Of course they will. She's going to be a top 3 portal player. Everyone is going to want her. All you guys can sit around and call her fat and all the other stuff but in the end the market will determine her fate and it's going to get her a lot of money from someone, and probably a top 10 program.
So you think a top 3 portal player in the entire country is going to take a step down to Drake or Creighton? This girl is going to make some big money at a top program.
She probably will make a lot of money, but (in my opinion), there won’t be as many wanting her as you may think.
Agreed. ^^ Despite her considerable talent at scoring the ball, even at best she would necessitate a HUGE change in offensive scheme, etc, and for what...one year? She's too good to not land anywhere, but I really would not think she will be brought into a top level team. Just my opinion.
She seems like a great person so I can only wish her the best, do understand why she is leaving ISU given the player losses.
I asked about her relationship with her Mom which as I understand it they are very close. I also wondered if her staying close to home might be a factor, not that she will.
Not everyone is about grabbing a bag. She might decide that her emotional support system is more important than straight cash.
Get it. However if she can go get a million bucks from LSU or someone for a year that might help the family out a little more. But you never know.
Yeah I have a hard time picturing that. I don't think elite SEC programs are going to tolerate someone who can't run the floor and doesn't D up in the post. And I don't think AC is going to want to go somewhere where she won't the the undisputed centerpiece of the offense. She'd be a role player at LSU.
I see Iowa State has one player returning. Be awesome if the rest of them do now that Crooks is leaving. Watched a few games and the other players didn't seem to like Crooks very much.
And Iowa did better then the clowns and they didn't have a crooks.
Totally respect Audi. If this was her freshman year and it was a purposeful build, ok. But not now, not the fit. But fascinating to see where she lands.
Drake or Creighton? You for real? She's an all american player...
Not if you actually want a team to play D. she gives up more pts than she scores
You don’t pass on a player like her if she’s interested. No-brainer.
