Audi Crooks

And when we talk about younger talents coming through, we'll move on to the next one where we're talking about Issy Frost, Bo Frost, the kinds that were playing for the younger GB teams.

Issy Frost has just received an offer from Iowa State, which is Audi Crooks' old team, who has now moved on to a different NCAA team.

I need to ask you, what are your opinions of this, right? Because we've just, we've spoke about Auckland and we've spoke about Nottingham and we've spoke about Cardiff and there's obviously younger players developing in our league.

What is the best way, in your opinion, for these players to develop? We've already seen Irene move over.

Then they'll host Oklahoma State.

And remember who's on Oklahoma State this year, Jared? Who's on Oklahoma State? And Audie Crooks.

So if you guys are like, oh, Oklahoma State, nah.

They're going to be very different.

Be moving on to UCLA.

Audie Crooks making her way down to Oklahoma State.

So a couple of big moves there and it's going to be a different looking roster for Bill Fennelly in a game that you anticipate Iowa's probably going to be a pretty heavy favorite in that one.

The two headliners though game three of the season will be on the road at UConn.

I mean, we watched the transfer portal just absolutely annihilate our program.

Audie Crooks said goodbye.

And a lot of us were sitting here thinking, are we seriously not going to talk about this? And look, I don't want to criticize a coach for just for the sake of being critical.

Again, I'm not going to do the thing we do just for likes, but it was a disservice because if we're going to call ourselves a sports community, we need to be willing to have the uncomfortable conversations about women's sports too.

Yeah.

Audie Crooks, who is now going to be playing at Oklahoma State.

She had been playing in Iowa State.

at iowa state um and her dad died when she was 16 in 2021 her dad also played basketball and she wears his number 55 and there was a whole thing about um she had like a really strong connection with the actually the iowa coach right iowa

I think it's significant that we have heard a lot from those three, like recently college and college players.

I think we're making progress is maybe what I'm saying.

Like the fact that like there, you know, there were Audie Crooks was having a big moment last season.

I feel like she was everywhere.

It's just-

Audie Crooks?

I...

Dude, they're, when it's good, there's some good shit, but, like, every week they've had, in the last four weeks, Tyler doesn't like this.

Are there? Like are there any like big, big girls?

Audie Crooks is, is on the bigger side.

Maybe we could pull her up.

Audie Crooks.

She, she's incredible.

Not pulling her up a ladder, that's for sure.
