Women's College Basketball: MiLaysia Fulwiley Enters The Transfer Portal

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college basketball world, South Carolina's dynamic guard MiLaysia Fulwiley has entered the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes shortly after the Gamecocks' loss to UConn in the national championship game, marking a significant shift in the team's roster dynamics .​

Fulwiley, a Columbia native and former W.J. Keenan High School star, has been a cornerstone of South Carolina's success over the past two seasons. Averaging 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, she played a pivotal role in the Gamecocks' journey to the national championship game. Despite her contributions, Fulwiley primarily came off the bench, a role that has been a point of contention among fans and analysts alike.​

The Gamecocks' recent acquisition of former Florida State guard Ta'Niya Latson, the nation's leading scorer last season, has further intensified competition in the backcourt. With returning starter Raven Johnson and rising talent Tessa Johnson also in the mix, Fulwiley's decision to explore other opportunities is understandable .​

She is expected to be a highly sought-after player, with many programs eager to add her talent and experience to their rosters. Her departure marks a significant change for South Carolina, and it will be interesting to see how the Gamecocks adjust in the upcoming season.​

For fans and followers of women's college basketball, Fulwiley's next move will be closely watched, as she continues to make her mark both on and off the court.
