Liv McGill, Audi Crooks Team Up at Oklahoma State

With roster movement continuing across college women’s basketball, former Gators women’s basketball star and Oklahoma State newcomer Liv McGill is set to share the court with the top names in the transfer portal: Audi Crooks. 

Coming from Iowa State, Crooks is known for her presence in the paint, having built a reputation as a physical scorer with her ability to control the interior. Early Monday, she joined the Cowboys. 

Last season, she averaged 25.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shooting 64.9% from the field. Crooks scored 47 points against Indiana on Nov. 30, cementing herself as one of the best players in the country. 

The move brings a diverse frontcourt addition and inside option for the Cowgirls. 

Transferring after the firing of coach Kelly Rae Finley, McGill adds depth to the Cowgirls backcourt with her ability to handle the ball and create offensive tactics. 

She averaged 22.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting 43.1% from the field during her sophomore season. While at Florida, she showed flashes of offensive production and playmaking ability, leading her team in multiple areas, including 3-pointers and defensive rebounds.  

Together, the addition of Crooks and McGill highlights Oklahoma State’s effort to balance its offense with both interior strength and perimeter playmaking. Their contrasting skill sets could compliment each other as the program looks to build toward the upcoming season. They look to improve upon Oklahoma State’s 24-10 season that ended at the hands of UCLA in the NCAA Tournament opening round.
