“You Chose LSU Over Us?” – SC’s Joyce Edwards Fires Shots at Ex-Teammate MiLaysia Fulwiley After Shocking Tigers Switch.
THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT BASKETBALL
In a stunning twist that’s shaken the college hoops world, MiLaysia Fulwiley — once a beloved hometown hero for South Carolina — has committed to transfer to LSU, igniting controversy and leaving her former teammates stunned, especially freshman phenom Joyce Edwards.
Moments after the news broke, Edwards took to social media with a cryptic but pointed message: “You chose them over us? This was never about basketball.” The words instantly caught fire among fans and analysts, with many interpreting them as a direct shot at Fulwiley’s unexpected decision to join South Carolina’s archrival.
Fulwiley, a Columbia native and five-star recruit, was expected to be part of the Gamecocks’ foundation for years to come. Instead, her transfer to LSU — a program known as much for its flash and drama as its dominance — has raised questions beyond the court. Rumors swirl about tensions within the locker room, NIL promises, and even personal rifts that may have influenced the move.
Edwards, who has quickly become the heart of Dawn Staley’s squad, didn’t backtrack. When asked during a post-practice interview if her message was about Fulwiley, she simply replied, “If you know, you know.”
Fans are now left divided. Some support Fulwiley’s right to choose her path, while others feel betrayed by her switch to a rival. As for Edwards and the rest of the Gamecocks, the message is clear: loyalty matters, and this battle just got personal.
