Former South Carolina star MiLaysia Fulwiley finally officially announced her decision to enter the transfer portal on Thursday after two seasons as a Gamecock.
News that South Carolina standout MiLaysia Fulwiley had entered the transfer portal hit last week, sending surprise to Gamecock Nation. Rumors and speculations from fans had been building for a few days, largely because Fulwiley was not getting the minutes this season that she earned. However, Fulwiley herself had stayed quiet on the subject until Thursday.
Fulwiley officially broke her silence via Instagram with a post officially announcing her decision.
“I want to begin by thanking my hometown of Columbia, SC,” Fulwiley wrote. “Without my village, I wouldn’t be where I am today, chasing my dreams. Thank you to Coach Staley, the entire South Carolina staff, and my teammates for the unforgettable memories we’ve created together. Thank you to the FAMS for embracing me and supporting me over the past two years.”
She ended the post by confirming her decision to enter the transfer portal: “After thoughtful consideration, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal. I’m excited for what’s next and grateful for the continued love and support.”
Fulwiley’s departure marks the end of her chapter in Columbia, and even though she had become a fan favorite, she will step into a new journey in her collegiate career.
