Audi Crooks, now leading Iowa State women’s basketball and topping national scoring charts, actually grew up rooting for the rival Iowa Hawkeyes. Her decision to join the Cyclones came down to Coach Fennelly’s old-school, no-nonsense pitch: earn your spot, nothing is handed out. That message resonated with Crooks, who wanted to prove herself on her own terms. Now, she’s not just thriving—she’s rewriting the record books. With big games ahead, will her leadership finally push Iowa State to the next level? What do you think about athletes switching lifelong allegiances for the right opportunity? #Sports #Basketball #IowaState
