Star guard Flau'jae Johnson announced Wednesday that she is continuing her college basketball career at LSU. "Yes, I'm coming back to LSU," Johnson told Front Office Sports. Digging a little deeper, Johnson said her decision dealt with having conversations with head coach Kim Mulkey as opposed to testing the transfer portal -- which officially closed on Wednesday. "This is my last year," Johnson said. "I definitely want to win, but I want to make sure I'm being developed to be the player that I want to be in the WNBA. Trying to find out how I can make that happen this year. I want to be as prepared as possible." Johnson is one of the sport's most marketable players and also a rapper who has released three albums. She has NIL deals with Powerade, Puma, Amazon, Experian and several other companies. On3 estimates her NIL valuation at $1.5 million. Johnson, 21, was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference and third-team All-America selection last season. She averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 34 games (all starts). Johnson won a national championship with LSU as a freshman in 2022-23 and has career averages of 14.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 106 games (104 starts). She helped the Tigers finish 31-6 this past season, but they lost to top-seeded UCLA in an NCAA Tournament regional final. --Field Level Media

After three seasons at UCLA, guard Londynn Jones is trading in her powder blue and gold and heading to the Bruins' rival, Southern California. Jones announced in an Instagram post Monday that she is transferring to USC. "Best of both worlds, LA... I'm still here," the native of Riverside, Calif., wrote. Jones made a UCLA program-record 87 3-pointers on 36.6 percent shooting from the arc in 2023-24. She followed that up with another 72 treys in 2024-25, making 35.1 percent of her attempts. Jones averaged 9.6 points per game in 108 games (60 starts) for the Bruins, including 8.5 ppg last season over 37 games (31 starts). She was an All-Big Ten honorable mention. UCLA went 34-3 in 2024-25 and won the Big Ten tournament by defeating USC 72-67 in the championship game. The Bruins were the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and reached the Final Four, where they lost to eventual national champion UConn. USC, meanwhile, also earned a No. 1 seed in the tournament and fell to UConn in the Elite Eight. The Trojans lost national Player of the Year JuJu Watkins to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the second round of the tournament. If Watkins returns to action in 2025-26, she would count Jones as a teammate. --Field Level Media
