LSU Rocked as Flau’Jae Johnson Takes $5.5M NIL Deal, Plans Exit
In a devastating blow to LSU Tigers fans, women’s basketball star Flau’Jae Johnson has left Baton Rouge reeling, accepting a staggering $5.5 million Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal from UConn, with sources confirming she’s poised to ditch the Tigers. The junior guard, a linchpin of LSU’s 2023 championship squad, shocked the NCAA with her announcement, saying, “I’m taking my talents elsewhere… It’s a new chapter!”
Johnson, who averaged 18.6 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, was considered the heart of LSU’s title hopes. Insiders reveal UConn’s offer, packed with endorsement deals and media ventures, proved too enticing, overshadowing her ties to coach Kim Mulkey and teammates. “It’s about securing my future,” Johnson reportedly told confidants, a stark contrast to her once-fierce loyalty to LSU.
The betrayal has sparked outrage among fans, with X posts branding her a “turncoat” and lamenting the loss of a hometown hero. Johnson’s music career with Roc Nation, already boosting her profile, is expected to soar under UConn’s national spotlight, adding fuel to speculation she’s chasing fame over team legacy.
LSU now faces a gaping hole in its roster as the season looms. Mulkey declined to comment, but teammates appeared blindsided. “We believed in her,” one player whispered. Meanwhile, UConn celebrates snagging a superstar, leaving LSU fans to grapple with a bitter reality: their Tiger has roared her last in Baton Rouge.
