MiLaysia Fulwiley, one of the most electrifying young talents in college basketball, shook the NCAA world on April 25 with her decision to transfer from South Carolina to powerhouse rivals, the LSU Tigers. The announcement instantly positioned LSU as an even stronger national contender, adding depth to an already star-studded backcourt.
Last season with the Gamecocks, Fulwiley averaged 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game—all while coming off the bench. Despite not starting a single game, her impact was undeniable, earning her a reputation as a dynamic sixth player with elite athleticism and court vision.
Fulwiley is currently showcasing her skills at USA Basketball’s 3×3 development camp in Phoenix, where she’s teamed up with her new LSU teammate Mikaylah Williams and other top national prospects. A video clip from the camp—featuring Fulwiley blocking a shot and turning heads—set social media ablaze after being posted on Instagram this past Saturday.
Fans flooded the comments in awe of her defense and intensity:
“The ppl on other side will bleed,” wrote one excited viewer.
“Air-Fulwiley will be one of the greats. Just keep watching her game. Ms. Excitement!” another declared.
“All them bitter SC fans said she couldn’t play defense. I just can’t wait for the season to start, shut them up,” added another.
With Fulwiley now on board, LSU’s guard rotation becomes even more dangerous. She joins a backcourt anchored by Flau’jae Johnson (18.6 ppg) and Mikaylah Williams (17.3 ppg)—two of the most prolific scorers in the country.
Still, questions remain: Will Fulwiley finally earn a starting role after serving as a super-sub for Dawn Staley’s squad? Or will she thrive once again as an explosive bench weapon for Kim Mulkey?
Regardless of her role, one thing is certain—MiLaysia Fulwiley’s transfer to LSU is one of the most compelling moves of the offseason, and fans are already circling the date for a potential South Carolina vs. LSU showdown.
