BREAKING NEWS: MiLaysia Fulwiley Announces Return to South Carolina for 2025-26 Season.
Excitement erupted inside Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina, as MiLaysia Fulwiley, the electrifying sophomore guard for the SouthCarolina Gamecocks, delivered a powerful message to the crowd: “I’m not going anywhere.” With those five words, the Gamecock faithful roared, and Fulwiley officially announced her return for the 2025-26 season.
Widely regarded as one of the most dynamic players in women’s college basketball, Fulwiley’s decision comes as a bold move in an era where early WNBA declarations and transfer portal exits have become the norm. Instead, she’s doubling down on her commitment to South Carolina and head coach Dawn Staley.
“This is home,” Fulwiley said. “I want to keep building something special right here.”
The announcement comes just weeks after South Carolina’s deep NCAA Tournament run, in which Fulwiley dazzled fans and scouts alike with her creativity, speed, and playmaking. Her return solidifies South Carolina as a national title contender once again.
Head coach Dawn Staley, beaming with pride, promised a bigger spotlight and leadership role for her star guard. “We’re building around MiLaysia,” Staley said. “Next season, she’s going to be a centerpiece—not just for us, but for the entire sport.”
Fulwiley’s loyalty and leadership have not gone unnoticed. Her return sends a message about program culture, team chemistry, and unfinished business. For Gamecock fans, it’s not just about one more season—it’s about chasing greatness, together.
With Fulwiley at the helm, South Carolina’s championship aspirations burn brighter than ever. And if today’s announcement was any indication, the best is yet to come
in Columbia.
