South Carolina's MiLaysia Fulwiley Reportedly Will Enter WCBB Transfer Portal

South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley plans to enter the transfer portal after two seasons with the Gamecocks, Lulu Kesin reported Friday for the Greenville News.

Fulwiley ranked second on the team with 11.7 points per game while coming off the bench her sophomore season.

The news comes days after Florida State transfer guard Ta'Niya Latson, who led DI basketball with 25.2 points per game last season, committed to South Carolina.

South Carolina guard Raven Johnson said the same day as Latson's transfer announcement that she would be returning to the Gamecocks for her final year of college eligibility.

Sophomore guard Tessa Johnson, who led the Gamecocks' backcourt reserves with more than 21 minutes per game last season, is also expected to return.

Fulwiley played 18.9 minutes per game last season, an increase over the 18.4 minutes she averaged during her freshman campaign. She could have potentially seen her minutes decrease when Latson joined two guards above her on the depth chart last season.

Fulwiley's overall shooting efficiency decreased among a somewhat inconsistent sophomore season, during which she made 42.6 percent from her attempts form the field and 25.8 percent from deep.

She also recorded multiple clutch performances in big games during the Gamecocks' run to the national championship game, including 23 points in the team's Sweet 16 win over Maryland.

Fulwiley, like former South Carolina star and WNBA icon A'ja Wilson, is a native of Columbia. Unlike Wilson, she is reportedly no longer on track to spend the entirety of her college career with her hometown team.

The NCAA transfer portal closes April 22. A five-star prospect when she joined South Carolina in 2023 who has two years of college eligibility remaining, Fulwiley will likely be one of the most impactful transfer players available before then.
