In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college basketball world, former South Carolina standout MiLaysia Fulwiley has officially announced her transfer to LSU. The highly-touted guard, known for her flashy handles and explosive playmaking ability, made the unexpected decision after a season that many felt didn’t fully reflect her talent or potential. While her departure marks the end of a promising chapter with the Gamecocks, Fulwiley is embracing a fresh start with the LSU Tigers.
In her statement, Fulwiley expressed gratitude to South Carolina and its fanbase, saying she will always hold a deep appreciation for the program that helped shape her early college career. However, she was also candid about the reasons for her departure. “I love being a Gamecock, but the opportunity to showcase my full skill set just wasn’t there,” Fulwiley shared. “At LSU, I believe I’ll be given the space and trust to truly shine.”
Her decision has sparked a wide range of reactions from fans. Some expressed disappointment over her exit, while others wished her success in her new journey. The buzz also reignites an already heated rivalry between South Carolina and LSU, with many looking ahead to a dramatic matchup when the two SEC powerhouses face off next season.
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey is expected to utilize Fulwiley’s versatile style to add depth and firepower to an already competitive roster. With this high-profile move, Fulwiley’s journey enters an exciting new phase—one where she’s determined to prove she’s more than just potential; she’s a star in the making.
