Turns out, Flau’Jae Johnson was only teasing a music-related collaboration and had zero intentions of going through the transfer portal, unlike what was initially rumored.
In one of his recent videos, NCAA analyst Robin Lundberg talked about the rumored transfer of LSU star Flau’Jae Johnson. While it was eventually revealed that it was not the case, the analyst talked about how Johnson could have taken advantage of social media to get the most engagement as possible.
“The transfer portal and social media are a good combination for confusion, right?” Lundberg said. “Flau’jae Johnson posted on social media, ‘4 out,’ and people are wondering, ‘What exactly does that mean?,’ because she had previously said she was not going into WNBA Draft. So, the assumption is she’s returning to LSU.”
“She seems to have a great relationship with Kim Mulkey. But when Flau’jae teases a major announcement on social media, fans are like, ‘What’s going on?,’ when that said announcement also has a ‘four out’ message next to it, and she talks how great LSU has been for her. Now, I full expect Flau’jae to return to LSU.”
With these things said, Lundberg explained it in a straightforward manner: it was intentional and for the simple reason of getting the most engagement as possible.
“I don’t think she is transferring or anything like that. But, it felt like the post was a little bit purposefully cryptic in order to gain maximum attention for whatever said major announcement is.”
The NCAA Transfer Portal is a digital database that allows student-athletes to explore transferring to other schools by notifying their current institution and entering their name into the system. It streamlines the transfer process, enabling athletes and coaches to connect more efficiently while adhering to NCAA rules and eligibility requirements.
