LSU women’s basketball shook up the landscape by securing a commitment from MiLaysia Fulwiley out of the transfer portal. The former South Carolina guard made a name for herself as a crafty playmaker off the bench for one of the nation’s deepest squads.
Head coach Kim Mulkey highlighted Fulwiley’s creativity and athleticism as major reasons why she fits the Tigers’ roster. The former Gamecock averaged 11.7 points as a sophomore, second-best on the team in 2024-25
She stands out] as one of the most electrifying talents in college basketball,” Mulkey said.
One of the top-ranked recruits in her class, Fulwiley made an immediate impact upon her arrival to South Carolina. She played 18.4 minutes per game with over 11 points and almost two steals per contest. Through her two seasons in Columbia, she amassed plenty of postseason experience and scoring success.
Fulwiley likely completes LSU’s backcourt alongside Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams. Mulkey may expect her to pick up point guard responsibilities, but will certainly look forward to seeing what Fulwiley can do in transition alongside the returning pair of guards.
