MiLaysia Fulwiley Sparks Controversy With Bold Statement: “I’d Rather Give Up My Career Than Play for LSU”
April 21, 2025 – Columbia, SC
In a fiery comment that’s taken the college basketball world by storm, MiLaysia Fulwiley made it clear that one program will never be on her radar — LSU. The South Carolina standout, who recently entered the NCAA transfer portal, stunned fans and analysts alike with her blunt stance during a livestream Q&A with supporters.
When asked by a fan whether LSU was a possible destination, Fulwiley didn’t hesitate.
“I’d rather give up my career than play for LSU,” she said with a chuckle, before adding, “No disrespect — just not my vibe.”
The remark immediately went viral, sparking debates across social media and sports talk shows. Some praised Fulwiley’s honesty and loyalty to her roots with the Gamecocks, while others questioned the wisdom of such a bold statement during a pivotal moment in her career.
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey has not responded publicly, but insiders say the Tigers had been loosely connected to Fulwiley before the comment.
Despite the backlash, Fulwiley doubled down in a follow-up post: “I said what I said. I’ve got nothing but love for the game — but some schools just aren’t for me.”
Known for her electrifying play and fierce competitiveness, Fulwiley has long been a fan favorite in Columbia. Her decision to transfer surprised many, but her unapologetic attitude continues to build her brand as one of college basketball’s most authentic voices.
Now, the spotlight shifts to where she will land — and which lucky program will get to write the next chapter of her already electric story.
