“Absolutely. I’m looking for um culture number one first and foremost. Somewhere with good people. You can be a good basketball player, but good quality people, good character, and great personalities is number one.”
“Number two, uh somewhere with some shooters. I need a little help from the outside. Uh to to be an inside outside threat type of team, a dual threat team, and and number three, somewhere that uh is going to push me push me hard and and develop me into who I want to be when my name is called hopefully here in New York,” Crooks shared.

The duo of Audi Crooks and Jada Williams was the talk of the town. Iowa State really looked like a team that might make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
