Today the top Iowa recruit in the 2023 class of girls make her commitment announcement at 8:10 AM at Bishop Garrigan High. Ranked 42nd in the nation. [player_tooltip player_id="63019" first="Audi" last="Crooks"] is by far one of the most dominant centers in Iowa girls basketball.<img class="size-medium wp-image-413916 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4271-scaled-crop-1920x1261-1649905482-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> Audi will be signing her letter of intent to play for the Iowa State Cyclones. So close to home for Audi. Iowa State is already a tough team that went deep in the NCAA Tourney this year but got bumped in the sweet 16 due to their lack of inside presence. Iowa State will have a lot of other Iowa recruits joining Audi in the fight as well. The family culture that Iowa State has was a big draw for Crooks. Coach Bill Fennelly is a master of recruiting in his home state. With top talents like Ashley Joens and others, Iowa State will have all the best Iowa girls for years to come. Top 50 Texas recruit Jalynn Bristow. Addy Brown and other Iowa notable 2023-2024 commits like 5th ranked in the state [player_tooltip player_id="13959" first="Arianna" last="Jackson"], [player_tooltip player_id="246121" first="Aili" last="Tanke"] number one in 2024, and [player_tooltip player_id="63032" first="Kelsey" last="Joens"] the number two ranked player in the state for 2023 should get Hilton magic rocking for years to come. All these Iowa girls I listed will lead their respective school ball teams to state again I'm sure. Look for lots of great memories to be made from this group. Standing at 6'3" Crooks moves so quick on the court. Her strong upper body and massive hands eclipse the ball. Yet her touch around the rim is so amazing. Very effective midrange game she doesn't even have to use much since she posts up so well. Her footwork is solid and unmatched. Once she catches the ball double and triple teams are done. Girls program director Ashley Adams and CY Select head coach has been huge in helping Crooks navigate this process as they are very close. Program Owner and coach Charles Young told me that Audi picked the local school because she believes they will build a strong team around her for 4 years. With a weapon like Audi. I see the cyclones making some runs in the NCAA tourney for years now. Congratulations Audi. Pop's would be so proud!
