South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley Officially Enters Transfer Portal with “Do Not Contact” Tag
In a move that shakes up South Carolina’s women’s basketball program, MiLaysia Fulwiley has officially entered the transfer portal, and with a significant twist: she’s requested a “do not contact” tag. The announcement, made on Monday, confirms that Fulwiley is exploring opportunities elsewhere after an impressive sophomore season with the Gamecocks.
Fulwiley, who averaged 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this past season, was a key contributor off the bench. With a shooting accuracy of 42.6 percent, she consistently proved herself as one of South Carolina’s most reliable players. Over the course of the 2023-2024 season, she played in 39 games, cementing her reputation as the Gamecocks’ best player coming off the bench.
This news follows the team’s heartbreaking loss to UConn in the national championship game, where South Carolina’s hopes of securing a second consecutive title were dashed. Fulwiley’s departure is a tough blow for the Gamecocks, especially considering her crucial role in the team’s success throughout the season.
Though she never started, Fulwiley often played a pivotal role in sparking the team, with standout performances like her 23-point effort in South Carolina’s NCAA tournament win over Maryland. Over the season, Fulwiley also notched four 20+ point games, highlighting her potential as a top-tier player.
This departure marks a significant shift for the Gamecocks, as they now look to fill the void left by one of their most dynamic and explosive players.
