00:00Iowa State star Audie Crooks has entered the transfer portal she announced on social media
00:04so let me get this straight on this too because I do think it's an interesting topic if you are
00:08at
00:08a power five school right which Iowa State is and who knows if they ever have a good enough team
00:13to
00:13get to the final four win a championship I don't know but usually as a star athlete it's like okay
00:19I'm at a school that will let me do whatever I want Joe if I want to go out and
00:22get 30 a 30 piece
00:23tonight 40 piece I'm going to get that down if I'm going to get 10 rebounds whatever happens I am
00:28the
00:28center focus and the superstar of this team I can run the court and do what I want I'm going
00:33to
00:33transfer out and let you say I go to UConn and instead of playing 30 of the 40 minutes I
00:39play 15
00:40minutes and I don't start but I'm a bench player but I'm on a better team there's that sort of
00:45equilibrium that you want to find like that level of balance am I wrong for thinking she's making a
00:50mistake like if I'm a star I'm allowed to be a star here and dominate but I'm going to go
00:54to a better
00:55school with a better chance to win but maybe not play nearly as much I don't think it makes sense
01:01well I mean Donnie it she has a very unique skill set she was the number two scorer in the
01:07country
01:08this year and all she does is play with her back to the best and she posts up on everybody
01:13I think 70 percent of her offensive possessions is her posting up near the basket and she converts
01:20at a ridiculous rate now you've got to have a very unique offense and team right that surrounds her
01:27along those lines to play that kind of offense so she could go to the WNBA draft if she wanted
01:33to but
01:34she's opting to play one more year I don't know if it's a cash grab or what it is but
01:39she's gonna
01:40have to find a team because she plays no defense Donnie you're not getting out in transition uh with her
01:45running up and down the court and she's she has defensive limitations but nobody can guard her
01:51in the paint which makes it very unique so I don't know where she's gonna go but they better have
01:56an
01:56offense that's built around post-playing I'll tell you that
01:59you
