Fulwiley has a 'do not contact' designation, which most likely means she already has a strong idea where she will transfer to.
The 5-foot-10 sophomore guard was the Southeastern Conference Sixth Player of the Year and helped the Gamecocks reach the national championship game, where they lost to UConn. She averaged 11.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in her two seasons at the school.
She started only three of her 77 games at South Carolina, but was one of the most exciting players in college basketball with her viral plays on offense.
South Carolina already has added transfer guard Ta'Niya Latson, who led the country in scoring last season.

The portal opened on March 25 and closes April 22. A player can still withdraw from the portal and return to their team after the closing date.
The Greenville News first reported news of Fulwiley's intention to enter the portal.

Waived Valkyries' breakout rookie lands pro basketball contract
The post Waived Valkyries' breakout rookie lands pro basketball contract appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Golden State Valkyries drew a little bit of criticism from fans when they did not keep any of their 2025 WNBA Draft picks on the final roster for the regular season. It should be mentioned though that only their second and third round picks were in training camp as No. 5 overall pick Justė Jocytė was selected as a draft-and-stash. One of the team's picks has landed a new opportunity though. Kaitlyn Chen, who was cut in camp, recently signed a new pro basketball contract. Advertisement The Valkyries opted to cut Kaitlyn Chen before the start of the regular season, but she landed a new pro basketball contract, joining the 3×3 Basketball Association, as per WNBA reporter Roberta F. Rodrigues. Chen will join the association in time for the upcoming Spokane 3×3 Hoopfest taking place in late June. The winner of that tournament will in line for Team USA FIBA 3×3 competitions. Chen was not the only draft pick that the Valkyries cut in training camp. The team drew bewilderment from fans with the decision to cut former Maryland star Shyanne Sellers. Sellers was picked up on waivers by the Atlanta Dream, but was cut again after an underwhelming preseason. Prior to being drafted by the Valkyries, Chen played out her final season of college basketball eligibility with UConn, winning a championship alongside Paige Bueckers in the starting backcourt. She played the first four seasons of her college basketball career in the Ivy League with Princeton. In the early goings of the regular season, the Valkyries have surprised some people. They currently stand at 2-3 and in fifth place in the Western Conference; eighth overall. The team was 2-1 prior to their recent East Coast road trip for two consecutive games against the defending champion New York Liberty. This is the inaugural season for the Valkyries, the first WNBA expansion franchise since the Dream in 2008. Next season, the league will expand once again with two more franchises in the Toronto Tempo and a yet to be named Portland team. The addition of the Valkyries and the other two teams bring a total of 36 additional roster spots to the WNBA.

Dallas Wings Reveal Major Paige Bueckers News on Saturday
Dallas Wings Reveal Major Paige Bueckers News on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Wings entered Saturday with a league-worst 1-8 mark, enduring two separate four-game losing streaks in their first nine outings. Advertisement With No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers sidelined, the Wings have struggled to generate playmaking; they shot just 30% from deep in their recent 93-79 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. However, in a development that could alter the trajectory of Dallas's season, Bueckers has been listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Lynx after missing three straight games under concussion protocol. Bueckers' potential return comes after a week of non-contact work and limited shooting drills at practice, offering cautious optimism to a Wings squad desperate for a spark. At UConn, Bueckers ended her career as the program's all-time leader in scoring average (19.8 ppg) and guided the Huskies to a 12th NCAA title in 2025. Advertisement She won the Wade Trophy, Honda Sports Award, Nancy Lieberman Award and was a three-time unanimous first-team All-American. Drafted first overall in April, Bueckers made an immediate impact. In her first six games, she has averaged 14.7 points, 6.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds and leads the Wings in steals (2.0) per game. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers (5). Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images At 23 years old, Bueckers has already become the face of the franchise and a key driver of ticket sales and fan engagement in Arlington. While Bueckers' probable listing doesn't guarantee a full-effort return, it represents a potentially significant turning point in what's been an otherwise forgettable 2025 season for the Wings.
