South Carolina women’s basketball star MiLaysia Fulwiley plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to reports from The Greenville News. This move comes after Fulwiley’s impressive sophomore season, where she averaged 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, helping the Gamecocks reach the national championship game.

 

Fulwiley, a 5-foot-10 guard from Columbia, South Carolina, has been a key player for the Gamecocks, earning SEC Sixth Woman of the Year honors this season. She was also named SEC Tournament MVP as a freshman and became the first college athlete to sign with Steph Curry’s Curry Brand.

 

The transfer portal decision might be due to the crowded backcourt rotation, with the return of Raven Johnson, Tessa Johnson, and Maddy McDaniel, as well as the recent addition of transfer star Ta’Niya Latson. Latson, the nation’s leading scorer from Florida State, committed to South Carolina just days ago.

 

Fulwiley’s departure would be a significant loss for the Gamecocks, given her electrifying playing style and marketability. She’s a special talent with nearly unlimited potential on both ends of the court. With two years of eligibility remaining, Fulwiley will likely command high-level recruitment and be one of the top transfer portal players this cycle ¹ ² ³.
