LSU star Flau’jae Johnson shared a major life update as she revealed she has bought a sprawling home in Georgia – after deciding that she will declare for the WNBA draft.

The 20-year-old guard impressed across the 2023-24 season as she tallied up an average of 14.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. After former teammate Angel Reese, eventually pursued a professional career, it has been mooted whether Johnson will eventually follow suit.

Due to turn 21 next month, the prospect will be eligible to declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft with the debate over her future likely to ramp up in due course. For now, the Tigers fan favorite is enjoying the fruits of her labor – after getting the keys to her new 20-acre property in her home state.

Taking to Instagram, the college basketball ace and rapper posted pictures from the moment she became a homeowner with the caption: “GOD IS AMAZING ! Done Got Addicted To The Acres 20 Years Old With a total of 20 Acres !! Generational Wealth Fr. Home Depot, what’s up?? Help me make some dreams a reality!”

As for whether she will be declaring for the next WNBA Draft, she previously told the New York Post: “I am going to choose to go to the WNBA. I don’t know how soon… just depending on how, you know, how my season goes and things like that.

“I already won a national championship, but one’s not enough when I have two, two more years left maybe, you know?” she continued. “I just want to I want to leave my impact, make my mark. I’m doing something like nobody has ever really done before. So I wanted to be special.”

Commenting on the rise of women’s basketball in recent times, she added: “But I think like for me, it’s beautiful to be able to see the WNBA flourish more and I think it’s directly from the impact that our LSU team had. You can’t deny the fact that after Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and LSU that women’s basketball had a surge.

“And so just to even be a part of that and now being able to go into the game and still continue to help grow it and just be a part of that. I think those are the best women in the world playing basketball. Just being able to play with those top-caliber women, that’s a dream come true.”

Speaking on her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, ex-teammate Reese offered her support to her old pal, while admitting the pair are not as close as in the past. The Chicago Sky superstar said: “I still support Flau’jae. We aren’t as close as we used to be and there’s no hard feelings or anything, but we aren’t as close as we used to be.

“That’s why people always expect us to still posting each other but we aren’t as close. It happens. You don’t have the best relationships with everybody and don’t always continue relationships with people. So, I wish her the best always. I’m always going to support her.”
