In the wake of MiLaysia Fulwileyâs announcement that she is entering the NCAA transfer portal, South Carolina Gamecocks fans have taken to social media to share their reactionsâmany of which express frustration and disappointment at her limited role under Coach Dawn Staley. Fulwiley, a dynamic and highly talented guard known for her flashy playing style and scoring ability, officially declared her departure from the South Carolina program earlier this week. The news has sparked an outpouring of support from fans, but also criticism aimed at how she was utilized during her time with the team.
Across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, supporters voiced their belief that Fulwileyâs potential was never fully tapped during her two seasons in Columbia. One common sentiment was that she should have received more minutes and had a more prominent role in the Gamecocks’ offensive strategy. Comments like âDawn Staley shouldâve given you more playing timeâ and âSheâs a starâyou could see it every time she touched the ballâ were echoed by dozens of users.
Despite the disappointment, fans also showed plenty of love and gratitude toward Fulwiley, thanking her for the unforgettable highlights and energy she brought to the court. Her decision comes after South Carolinaâs recent championship run, during which she had moments of brilliance but wasnât always given extended time to lead the team.
As Fulwiley prepares for the next phase of her career, many believe sheâs poised for a breakout season wherever she lands. Her departure has left a mark on the Gamecock community, and supporters will be watching closely to see where her journey takes her next.
