In a move that rocked the women’s college basketball world, MiLaysia Fulwiley has officially transferred from South Carolina to LSU—and she didn’t hold back when explaining why. The former Gamecock standout took to social media with a blunt message: “It’s time I bet on me. I gave my heart to this program, but now I need to shine where I’ll be seen and valued.” The comment sparked immediate outrage among South Carolina fans, who felt blindsided by her sudden departure and her apparent shade toward Coach Dawn Staley’s program.
Fulwiley, a Columbia native and fan favorite, was widely considered the future of South Carolina basketball. But behind-the-scenes frustrations over playing time and a more structured offense may have pushed her to seek a system like LSU’s, where Coach Kim Mulkey’s fast-paced, guard-friendly style better suits her flair.
“I’m done dimming my light,” Fulwiley added. That line alone ignited Gamecock Nation’s fury, with some accusing her of disloyalty, while others defended her right to grow. As LSU fans celebrate the addition of a dynamic scorer, South Carolina is left picking up the pieces—and wondering how they let such a star slip away.
