Is MiLaysia Fulwiley transferring to LSU? Kim Mulkey may land star guard

Another day closer to Kim Mulkey possibly landing a star guard from an SEC rival? Speculation is heating up, with many sources saying MiLaysia Fulwiley is eyeing the Tigers as her new home.

She hasn't committed to a new school yet, but early speculated destinations included Notre Dame, LSU, Louisville, Clemson, and Ole Miss. Now, LSU appears to be emerging as a frontrunner—On3’s Talia Goodman even logged a prediction for Fulwiley to choose LSU, giving Tiger fans real reason to get excited.

Fulwiley will be a junior guard this season and entered the transfer portal just under two weeks ago after helping South Carolina and coach Dawn Staley reach another NCAA championship appearance in her sophomore year.

In her freshman season, the Gamecocks won the title against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes. This time around, UConn proved too much in the 2025 title game.

In two seasons, she’s collected plenty of accolades: SEC Tournament MVP, SEC All-Freshman Team and a South Carolina record for most three-pointers in an NCAA Tournament game. She averaged 11.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.7 steals her freshman year—nearly identical numbers her sophomore season—all while playing just under 19 minutes per game.

Though LSU boasts guard talent in Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams, Fulwiley would bring a shot-creating edge and "dawg" mentality that fits with Mulkey’s high-octane system. With standout forward Aneesah Morrow departing, there’s room for Fulwiley to shake up the offensive dynamic.

Plus Mulkey isn’t slowing down. She's already reeled in top-10 prospects Grace Knox and ZaKiyah Johnson, as well as five-star Divine Bourrage and four-star Isabella Hines—making LSU the top destination for elite talent in the 2025 ESPNW class.

The question now: will Fulwiley be the next big name to join the Tigers? If she does, LSU could be one of the most dangerous teams in women’s college basketball next season—if the chemistry clicks.
