Flau'Jae Johnson Uncertain If She'll Return to LSU or Declare for 2025 WNBA Draft

LSU's season came to an end on Sunday with an Elite Eight loss to UCLA and now one of the Tigers' stars faces a big offseason decision.

When asked if she had an answer for whether she return to LSU or declare for the WNBA Draft, star Flau'Jae Johnson gave no indication.

"I don't know," Johnson said, per ESPN's Kevin Pelton.

Johnson, who has been with LSU her entire three-year career, has one more year of eligibility remaining if she chooses to use it. If she opted to go the WNBA route, Johnson would likely be an early pick.

Johnson had two good years to start her career, but she made a major leap this year. She went from averaging 14.9 points a year ago to 18.6 this season, emerging as one of the Tigers' first options alongside Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams. Johnson earned third-team All-American honors after an outstanding year.

Though going pro is an enticing offer, Johnson might opt to see things through with LSU after coming up short this year. Johnson was already part of one national title run in 2022-23 and would have the chance to add another to her résumé if she returns next year.

Plus, in the age of NIL, Johnson has the chance to continue earning money before joining the professional ranks.

According to Pelton, Johnson will weigh "everything" when making her decision.

While she's still unsure what she'll do next, fans will know Johnson's decision sooner rather than later as the WNBA draft is just over two weeks away.
