When LSU's Flau'jae Johnson revealed transfer portal shock

Even the student-athletes have been astonished at the massive migration of their fellow student-athletes via the transfer portal. During an April 11 segment of the "Best of Both Worlds" podcast, LSU Tigers standout Flau'jae Johnson who opted to remain in college basketball instead of declaring for the WNBA Draft expressed her shock at the portal movements (20:36).

"I've seen a lot of crazy stuff," Flau'jae Johnson said. "A lot of top players in the portal. People committing really quick and really early. People got a lot of 'Do not contact' so you can't contact them.

"If they're in the portal, they're probably already talking to a school. I was surprised at the whole dang near whole Notre Dame team leaving. That was crazy. I was like, 'Why is everybody leaving?'"

Johnson specifically pinpointed former Notre Dame Fighting Irish standout Olivia Miles opting out of the WNBA draft where she was the projected No. 2 pick behind Paige Bueckers and instead entering the portal after which she joined the TCU Horned Frogs.

"Where is y'all going?' Nobody's talking about that, I wanna know what's going on 'cause I would not have expected Olivia Miles to get gone bro," Johnson said. "They was a cold trio. Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, Neal Ivey.

"Either way, a lot of people are transferring so I ain't expect her to go to TCU though. That was crazy. TCU must have thrown that bag because, back-to-back top transfers, I like it."

The House vs. NCAA settlement which mandated that student-athletes be treated as employees has created an unprecedented situation in college sports with players always on the lookout for the best offer accounting for the intense portal activity.
