Transfer Twist: South Carolina Star MiLaysia Fulwiley Could Be Headed to Rival LSU.
The women’s college basketball world is buzzing with speculation as MiLaysia Fulwiley, the electric former South Carolina guard, has officially entered the transfer portal—and one of her top suitors is none other than LSU, a fierce SEC rival.
Fulwiley, known for her explosive handles, clutch shot-making, and highlight-reel athleticism, made an instant impact as a freshman under Dawn Staley. But now, with the portal open and opportunities knocking, the Columbia native is weighing her next move—and Baton Rouge is emerging as a serious contender.
Sources close to the situation say LSU head coach Kim Mulkey is making a hard push to land Fulwiley, who could fill the dynamic backcourt gap left by Hailey Van Lith’s departure. Pairing Fulwiley with rising stars like Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams could instantly re-ignite LSU’s championship ambitions.
But it’s not just about basketball.
A twist in Fulwiley’s potential landing spot comes from the NIL world. The guard is reportedly exploring a sneaker endorsement opportunity that could significantly influence her decision. LSU, with its established brand connections and deep NIL resources, might offer the perfect combination of on-court fit and off-court visibility.
South Carolina fans were stunned by the portal news, and losing Fulwiley to LSU would undoubtedly add another layer to the heated SEC rivalry. Nothing is confirmed yet, but the buzz is real—and Baton Rouge may be the next big stage for one of the sport’s brightest young stars.
Will Fulwiley trade in the garnet and black for purple and gold? Stay tuned—this transfer saga is just heating up.
