BREAKING: LSU Tigers Women’s Basketball Guard Flau’jae Johnson Makes Major Decision About Her Future — Head Coach Kim Mulkey Responds
In a stunning and highly anticipated announcement, LSU Tigers star guard Flau’jae Johnson has officially revealed her decision about her future — and it’s sending waves through the world of women’s college basketball.
The sophomore sensation, known for her explosive athleticism on the court and her rising career as a hip-hop artist off it, has confirmed that she will be returning to LSU for another season. The decision comes after much speculation about whether she would declare for the WNBA Draft or continue to build her legacy in Baton Rouge under Head Coach Kim Mulkey.
“I’m not done yet,” Johnson said in a video posted to her social media. “I’ve got more to prove, more to win, and more to grow — both as a player and as a person. LSU is home, and we’ve got unfinished business.”
Her statement immediately drew attention from fans, analysts, and teammates alike, as Johnson had a standout season that positioned her as one of the most dynamic guards in the nation. Averaging double digits in points, with high energy on both ends of the court, her leadership and charisma were key components of the Tigers’ success this past season.
Head Coach Kim Mulkey, never one to hide her emotions, was visibly thrilled by Johnson’s decision.
“Flau’jae is the heartbeat of this team,” Mulkey said in a press release. “She brings fire, toughness, and a joy that’s contagious. Her decision to come back shows her commitment not just to LSU, but to her teammates and this program. She’s just getting started — and so are we.”
Johnson’s return is a major boost for the LSU Tigers, who are already preparing for what could be another deep postseason run. With Angel Reese declaring for the WNBA and other roster shifts expected, Johnson’s leadership will be more crucial than ever.
Off the court, Flau’jae has also been making a name for herself in the music world. Signed to Roc Nation and gaining momentum as an emerging rapper, her ability to balance her dual careers has earned her admiration nationwide. Her decision to stay speaks volumes about her dedication to both her craft and her teammates.
Fans across the country are excited about the upcoming season, and LSU’s stock just rose significantly. With a leader like Flau’jae returning, the Tigers maintain their championship aspirations — and continue to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in women’s college basketball.
As Mulkey put it, “This isn’t just about basketball. It’s about building something special. And Flau’jae is a huge part of that story.”
The 2025 season just got a whole lot more interesting.
