Iowa State star Audi Crooks joins transfer portal rush as 1,100 players enter on first day

Audi Crooks is among more than 1,100 Division I women’s basketball players who entered the portal in the first 12 hours, according to an AP review.

  • On Monday, more than 1,100 Division I women's basketball players entered the NCAA transfer portal after it opened just after midnight, including Iowa State star Audi Crooks among nine Cyclones.
  • The NCAA changed the portal window this year to open for 15 days starting the day after the national championship. Revenue sharing and name, image and likeness deals now incentivize player movement.
  • Tennessee has five players in the portal; Miami and Georgia each have eight, while Stanford includes star Nunu Agara among its four entries. Programs nationwide face significant roster turnover.
  • UCLA coach Cori Close said the "transfer portal just got easier" after winning the national championship. South Carolina coach Dawn Staley emphasized money as crucial: "How much is it going to cost us?"
  • President Donald Trump signed an order last week limiting athletes to one transfer, intended to stabilize college sports. Last year, 1,570 Division I players entered the portal during its entire open period.
