In a move that has sent shockwaves through the world of women’s college basketball, MiLaysia Fulwiley, the electrifying guard from South Carolina, announced via social media that she is transferring to LSU.
Fulwiley, who captured national attention with her jaw-dropping speed, dazzling handles, and fearless scoring ability, posted a simple but powerful message on her Instagram account:
“New Chapter. Same Mission. Geaux Tigers! 🐯💜💛 #LSU”
Just like that, one of the brightest young stars in the game is headed to Baton Rouge — and the college basketball landscape just shifted in a major way.
A Rising Superstar
MiLaysia Fulwiley exploded onto the scene in her freshman season at South Carolina, averaging 11.7 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.1 steals per game while dazzling fans with her jaw-dropping athleticism and creative playmaking. Her fearless drives to the rim, logo-range threes, and no-look passes became must-see TV, often lighting up highlight reels across ESPN and social media.
Dubbed by some analysts as the “future face of women’s college basketball,” Fulwiley played a key role in helping South Carolina reach the Final Four last season. Even in limited minutes behind a deep, veteran roster, her impact was undeniable.
“MiLaysia Fulwiley is electric,” said ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo. “She’s the type of player who changes the tempo of the game the moment she steps on the court. LSU just picked up a game-changer.”
Why the Move?
While South Carolina remained a powerhouse, sources close to Fulwiley cited a desire for a “larger leadership role” and a system that would fully unleash her offensive creativity as key factors in her decision to transfer.
LSU, coached by the always-competitive and headline-grabbing Kim Mulkey, offers the perfect landing spot. With the graduation of key stars and the desire to reload quickly, LSU is giving Fulwiley an opportunity to become the centerpiece of their next championship push.
“MiLaysia is a special player with a special gift,” Coach Mulkey said in a statement Friday evening. “We’re thrilled to welcome her to the LSU family. She’s going to light up Baton Rouge, and we can’t wait to get to work.”
The Reaction: Fireworks Across the Country
Within minutes of the announcement, the women’s college basketball world exploded with reactions.
Teammates and fans from South Carolina expressed heartbreak but wished Fulwiley well, recognizing her decision to chase her full potential.
LSU fans celebrated wildly online, already dreaming of packed crowds at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center watching Fulwiley run the show.
Analysts immediately bumped LSU up their preseason rankings, predicting that Fulwiley’s arrival could catapult the Tigers back into serious national title contention.
“This is the biggest transfer portal move in women’s basketball this offseason, period,” said The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings. “LSU just became must-watch every single night.”
What’s Next for Fulwiley?
Fulwiley is expected to immediately step into a starting role at LSU, where she will have the freedom to control the tempo, create her own offense, and elevate her teammates.
With NIL opportunities, a vibrant fan base, and one of the most passionate coaches in the game backing her, Fulwiley is poised not only to dominate the SEC but also to cement her name among the sport’s elite.
In a world where the transfer portal often brings quiet changes, this one feels seismic. MiLaysia Fulwiley isn’t just changing jerseys — she’s reshaping the race for next year’s national championship.
Buckle up, Baton Rouge. The show is just getting started.
