How tall is Audi Crooks? What to know on Iowa State women's basketball's rising star

Audi Crooks' star is rising.

The Iowa State women’s basketball player is one of several rookies on the team and has helped Iowa State see success this season.

Crooks was Iowa's top 2023 girls basketball prospect, the Register reported in 2022. She was a player for Bishop Garrigan High School in Algona.

Now, the freshman and center can check off her first season with the Cyclones with the added bonus of a recent honor — on March 5, the Cyclones player was named to the All-Big 12 coaches first team.

Crooks, who committed in April 2022, was vigorously recruited by Cyclones coach Bill Fennelly, who dined at a restaurant she loved as just one method to attract Crooks to the team.
