LSU has landed one of the most dynamic players available, as former South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley announced her transfer to Baton Rouge on Friday via social media.
Fulwiley, who will enter her junior season this fall, leaves South Carolina after two standout years under coach Dawn Staley. She averaged 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 18.9 minutes per game this past season. Although she started just three of her 77 games for the Gamecocks, Fulwiley made her mark as an electrifying sixth woman.
Her decision to transfer comes on the heels of South Carolina’s loss to UConn in the NCAA championship game. Fulwiley now joins a guard-loaded LSU roster featuring stars Mikaylah Williams and Flau’jae Johnson. While LSU’s backcourt is packed with talent, Fulwiley’s proven ability to change games with her scoring burst and speed should earn her significant playing time.
The Tigers have been aggressive in the portal this offseason, a necessity after losing all five of their forwards and centers to eligibility expiration and transfers. Fulwiley becomes LSU’s fourth portal addition, alongside incoming talents Kate Koval, Serah Williams, and Amiya Joyner, helping to reshape a roster aiming to remain a national powerhouse under coach Kim Mulkey.
Fulwiley’s arrival gives LSU another high-powered weapon in the quest to return to championship contention.
