Flau'jae Johnson, along with the players and the staff of the LSU Tigers, went on a 10-day cultural trip to Greece and Croatia from July 29. As much as it was for exploration, this was also a study-abroad type of program, as the student-athletes received class credits.

This was an opportunity for the players to learn about the history of the countries and their sports and social dynamics from an interdisciplinary perspective. The itinerary included Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, along with Athens and Santorini in Greece.

The LSU Instagram posted a video of the highlights from their final stop in Santorini with the caption:

"A perfect way to end our time in Santorini and abroad 🤍🇬🇷"

Flau'jae Johnson, whose On3 NIL valuation is $1.2 million, reposted the video to her Instagram Story and wrote:

Flau'jae Johnson reveals that she would leave college in 2025 under one condition

With the trip successfully wrapped up, Flau'jae Johnson is back in the gym preparing for her junior season. After leading the Tigers to a championship in the 2022-2023 season, Johnson and the team failed to successfully defend the title last year. In the upcoming season, repeating their 2023 success is the goal, although they will be without the support of star forward Angel Reese.

During a July episode of her podcast, "Best of Both Worlds," Flau'jae Johnson revealed that if she wins a championship next year and is predicted to be picked No. 1, she would leave college early to move to the WNBA.

"I would consider leaving college early to the pros," Johnson said. "Like, say this year I had a amazing year, and they was like, 'Flau, you going No. 1,' I'm out."

However, Johnson's mother, Kia Brooks, disagreed with the guard, explaining that she needed more time, especially in the gym, before she moved to play with the pros.

"Yes, I love it. I love it for you. I love the process. I don't want you to miss anything. The WNBA is looking like a little rough," Brooks said. "I want you to go ahead and get your weight up. I feel like you're good, but those are women out there. And I want you to be all the way, a full-fledged woman before you go out there."

While the Tigers can win a national title this season, the odds are not in their favor against stacked teams like South Carolina, UConn and USC.
