Flau’jae Johnson and Hailey Van Lith might not be teammates on the court anymore, but they’re still teaming up off the court.
Johnson and Van Lith teamed up for an NIL deal where they featured in an advertisement for Apple Cash that both players posted on their Instagram accounts. The ad shows Van Lith and Johnson having a text conversation about picking up a cake for a party before Johnson uses Apple Cash to send Van Lith $20.
“Basketball is a piece of cake,” the caption said. “So is sending cash.”

Van Lith was the No. 1 transfer in the country before coming to LSU for one season. She helped LSU reach an SEC Championship and the Elite Eight before transferring to TCU this offseason.
