In a major shakeup, South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley announced on Friday that she plans to enter the transfer portal, marking a surprising twist in the offseason for the Gamecocks. The news was first reported by Lulu Kesin of the Greenville News and later confirmed by GamecockCentral.
Fulwiley, a Columbia native and former star at Keenan High School, spent two standout seasons playing for her hometown school. Her impact was immediate—she earned Freshman All-SEC honors in her debut season and followed it up with a stellar sophomore year that included All-SEC recognition and the title of SEC Sixth Woman of the Year.
Now, as she enters the portal, Fulwiley is expected to become one of the most sought-after transfers in the country, with elite programs likely to pursue her.
During her time with the Gamecocks, she posted impressive stats, averaging 11.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game—showcasing her all-around ability on both ends of the floor.
Her departure is a significant moment for South Carolina women’s basketball, as the program navigates major roster changes and prepares for another title-contending run.
