Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4540154, member: 12088"] Have I mentioned how I impressed I am that Iowa St recruited [B]Audi Crooks[/B], effectively stole her out from under everyone else's nose? I've managed to find a couple of her games, and a bunch of highlight videos. The best game, which may still be available on Youtube, was earlier this season against Hopkins HS. It wasn't a close game, because Hopkins is loaded with talent, and Taylor Woodson and Nunu Agara are already D1 ready athletes, while Bishop Garrigan HS is just Crooks and a bunch of little kids. But even in that situation, she was unstoppable. She's really strong of course (because her other sport is shot put) but she's also surprisingly quick with excellent footwork, she has decent handles and a very soft touch on anything inside the foul line. [B]She also has excellent stamina[/B]. Against Hopkins she played every minute and didn't slow down at all. And against the Hopkins press, they often relied on her to break it at midcourt. A lot of teams may have passed on her not thinking she'd be able to run in the college game. But I'm very confident she'll surprise a lot of teams with just how athletic she really is. And the biggest plus maybe that she seems to be an excellent team player. She's used to having to carry her team, but she seems to be quite generous with her teammates. I think Iowa St found an excellent player. She may turn out to be even more central to their success than Soares looked to be before the injury. [/QUOTE]
