“This Gives Off Hailey Van Lith Vibes”: Fans Left in Shambles as MiLaysia Fulwiley Reportedly Schedules LSU Visit with Kim Mulkey
BATON ROUGE, LA — The women’s college basketball world is buzzing with speculation and strong emotions as reports emerge that South Carolina standout MiLaysia Fulwiley is scheduled to visit LSU and Coach Kim Mulkey — sending shockwaves across fanbases and social media.
Following news of the potential visit, fans of both South Carolina and LSU began reacting instantly, with some drawing immediate parallels to Hailey Van Lith’s controversial transfer to LSU last year.
“This gives off Hailey Van Lith vibes,” one fan posted on X. “I don’t know if my heart can take this again.”
A Rising Star on the Move?
MiLaysia Fulwiley, one of the most electric young guards in the nation, made waves in her freshman season at South Carolina. Known for her jaw-dropping handles, elite scoring ability, and fearless play style, Fulwiley was a fan favorite for Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks and played a key role in their dominant campaign.
So when rumors began swirling that Fulwiley might be eyeing a change — and specifically a move to an SEC rival — it triggered both excitement and concern.
According to multiple reports, Fulwiley is expected to take a recruiting visit to LSU, where head coach Kim Mulkey continues to aggressively reshape her roster through the transfer portal. Mulkey, known for her unapologetic coaching style and recruiting prowess, made headlines last season when she brought in former Louisville star Hailey Van Lith in a similar fashion.
Déjà Vu for SEC Women’s Hoops?
For many fans, this feels like déjà vu. Hailey Van Lith’s transfer to LSU caused a massive stir in 2023, and now the potential of Fulwiley joining the Tigers has reignited debates about loyalty, competition, and the rapidly shifting landscape of college sports in the NIL era.
“If this happens, the SEC rivalry just got 10x spicier,” a college hoops analyst tweeted.
“Kim Mulkey isn’t recruiting — she’s assembling an All-Star team.”
What It Means for LSU and South Carolina
If Fulwiley does transfer to LSU, the implications are enormous. For LSU, she would represent another elite weapon in their arsenal, possibly filling the playmaking void and giving the Tigers one of the most explosive backcourts in the country.
For South Carolina, it would be a tough blow. Dawn Staley, one of the most respected coaches in the game, has built a program known for loyalty, development, and success. Losing a player like Fulwiley — especially to a rival — would undoubtedly sting.
Still, as of now, no official decision has been made, and the visit to LSU is part of the exploratory phase. Fulwiley has not entered the transfer portal officially, but the report alone has thrown fans into a whirlwind of speculation.
Fans React
The online reactions have ranged from hope to heartbreak:
“This can’t be real. Fulwiley is Gamecock blood.”
“If she transfers, I’m watching every LSU game. No joke.”
“Kim Mulkey is not playing fair — again.”
Whether Fulwiley’s visit turns into a commitment or not, one thing is clear: women’s college basketball has entered an era where no move goes unnoticed, and every visit could signal a seismic shift.
📢 What’s your take? Should MiLaysia Fulwiley stay loyal to South Carolina, or would LSU be the perfect stage for her next chapter?
