MiLaysia Fulwiley, the standout South Carolina basketball star, is reportedly nearing a decision about her transfer. After two seasons with the Gamecocks, the point guard entered the transfer portal this spring.
All indications suggest she’s likely to stay within the Southeastern Conference, with LSU emerging as a strong contender for her next destination.
Fulwiley came to South Carolina as a highly touted 5-star recruit, choosing to represent her hometown and the garnet and black. She quickly carved out a significant role with the Gamecocks, earning Sixth Player of the Year honors in the SEC this past season. Over the course of her two seasons, she averaged 11.7 points per game, providing an energizing spark off the bench.
Her efforts helped South Carolina compete for back-to-back national titles, with the team claiming the championship in her freshman year, only to fall to UConn in the most recent season.
Despite playing in 76 games for the Gamecocks, Fulwiley made just three starts, and she’s hopeful that her next destination will provide her with more playing time.
Fulwiley’s transfer has sparked intense speculation in recent months, with numerous rumors circulating about her future. Earlier in the offseason, she was rumored to be leaning toward Ole Miss, but that storyline was quickly dismissed by Rebels coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin.
More recently, rumors have shifted to LSU, with reports suggesting that Fulwiley may be considering a visit to Baton Rouge. Some have even claimed that her mother was shopping her to the highest NIL bidder, but Fulwiley has firmly denied these rumors, calling them “lies” and stating that financial incentives were not a factor in her decision to leave South Carolina. She also dismissed reports of a visit to LSU.
Shortly after denying these rumors, Fulwiley shared a cryptic TikTok video, which many are interpreting as a hint about where she might be headed next.
MiLaysia Fulwiley was recently seen dancing to a popular track by rap artist Zeddy Will, whose music falls under the genre of “NOLA Bounce.” This style of music, originating from New Orleans, blends hip-hop with a fast-paced, block party vibe, often incorporating the signature Triggerman beat and brass band rhythms. Bounce typically has a tempo ranging from 95 to 105 beats per minute and frequently features Mardi Gras Indian chants along with call-and-response patterns.
One follower on TikTok wrote, “Not she’s dancing to Louisiana bounce music,” while another asked, “Does the NOLA bounce mean anything?” The video, set to the infectious bounce beat, has left fans speculating whether the music choice is a clue about her next move.
Fulwiley has not made a formal announcement regarding her transfer decision. She publicly denied rumors earlier this week that she had visited LSU, only to post the Louisiana-themed TikTok shortly after. Many fans are now interpreting the video as a potential hint about where Fulwiley might land next, suggesting it could be a “commitment before the commitment.”
As of now, Fulwiley has yet to make her official decision, but fans and followers are closely watching for any signs that could reveal her next destination. It looks like we may know her transfer plans soon, with many already speculating on where she’ll go.
