Breaking news: MiLayshia Fulwiley BLASTS Dawn Staley After Shock Commitment to LSU Tigers.
In a stunning twist that’s rocked the women’s college basketball world, South Carolina native and top prospect MiLayshia Fulwiley has committed to the LSU Tigers—just months after many expected her to remain loyal to hometown powerhouse South Carolina. But what turned heads even more was her pointed criticism of Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley.
Speaking candidly in a post-commitment interview, Fulwiley didn’t hold back. “I’ve got nothing but love for my state,” she said. “But sometimes, loyalty doesn’t mean limiting your growth. I needed a coach who believes in unleashing my full potential, not boxing me into a system that doesn’t let me be me.”
Her comments appeared to take aim at Staley’s disciplined, system-heavy style, which has drawn both praise and criticism for its structured approach. Fulwiley hinted that creative freedom played a major role in her decision. “At LSU, Coach Mulkey gives players room to breathe, create, and dominate. That’s what I’m about,” she added.
Sources close to Fulwiley say the tension with Staley had been simmering throughout the recruiting process, especially as Fulwiley reportedly felt “undervalued” compared to other top Gamecock targets. Her commitment to rival LSU not only deepens the SEC rivalry but also signals a power shift in recruiting dynamics.
South Carolina fans are stunned, while LSU faithful are ecstatic, viewing Fulwiley as the next electrifying piece in Kim Mulkey’s ever-growing championship puzzle. Meanwhile, Coach Staley has yet to publicly respond to the comments, though insiders suggest she’s “disappointed but moving forward.”
This bombshell commitment may just be the first spark in what promises to be an explosive SEC season.
