5) LSU Tigers
LSU offers the spotlight and a proven track record of developing dominant frontcourt players. Crooks would fit right into a physical SEC-style of play, giving the Tigers another powerful interior presence while benefiting from high-level guard play that can consistently feed her in scoring positions. Head coach Kim Mulkey has become one of the best at luring talent in the transfer portal, and if she can add Crooks to her frontcourt, the Tigers will have a chance to make a deep run next season.

Landing Spots for Audi Crooks
Audi Crooks's entry into the women's college basketball transfer portal made the cycle increasingly interesting from the jump. After a career year at Iowa State, averaging 25.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, while shooting 64.9% from field goal range, the six-foot-three center has proven to be an absolute force in the frontcourt. Crooks will likely attract interest from nearly every top team in the portal, but with her likely preference to stay close to home, the Iowa native will likely be selective with her next destination. Nonetheless, here's a look at five teams that could stand out for the former Cyclones star.

1) TCU Horned Frogs
TCU would give Audi Crooks the chance to be the focal point of the offense in a system that values physical interior play. The Horned Frogs have shown a willingness to run through their frontcourt, and Crooks’ size and scoring touch would immediately elevate their half-court efficiency while giving them a true presence on the block. Not to mention, head coach Mark Campbell has made a name for himself in acquiring playmakers in the portal.
2) Iowa Hawkeyes
Iowa is a natural fit, offering Crooks a chance to stay in a familiar environment while stepping into a major role. The Hawkeyes’ spacing and guard play would create easy looks inside, allowing Crooks to thrive as a high-volume scorer and consistent paint presence in a system built on offensive flow. At the same time, transferring to the rival Hawkeyes would likely tarnish her Cyclones legacy, so the real question at hand is whether increasing her draft stock close to home is worth it.
3) UCLA Bruins
UCLA presents an opportunity to compete at the highest level while fitting into a balanced, talented roster. Crooks would add physicality and interior scoring to a team that already has strong perimeter play, giving the Bruins a more complete offensive attack and a reliable option in the paint.
4) Oklahoma Sooners
Oklahoma could maximize Crooks’ impact in an up-tempo system that still values efficient interior scoring. Her ability to run the floor and finish through contact would complement the Sooners’ pace, while also giving them a dependable option to slow the game down and score inside when needed.
5) LSU Tigers
LSU offers the spotlight and a proven track record of developing dominant frontcourt players. Crooks would fit right into a physical SEC-style of play, giving the Tigers another powerful interior presence while benefiting from high-level guard play that can consistently feed her in scoring positions.
