What Kim Mulkey said about MiLaysia Fulwiley following transfer to LSU women's basketball
LSU women's basketball shook up the landscape by securing a commitment from MiLaysia Fulwiley out of the transfer portal. The former South Carolina guard made a name for herself as a crafty playmaker off the bench for one of the nation's deepest squads.
Head coach Kim Mulkey highlighted Fulwiley's creativity and athleticism as major reasons why she fits the Tigers' roster. The former Gamecock averaged 11.7 points as a sophomore, second-best on the team in 2024-25.

"[She stands out] as one of the most electrifying talents in college basketball," Mulkey said.
One of the top-ranked recruits in her class, Fulwiley made an immediate impact upon her arrival to South Carolina. She played 18.4 minutes per game with over 11 points and almost two steals per contest. Through her two seasons in Columbia, she amassed plenty of postseason experience and scoring success.
Fulwiley likely completes LSU's backcourt alongside Flau'jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams. Mulkey may expect her to pick up point guard responsibilities, but will certainly look forward to seeing what Fulwiley can do in transition alongside the returning pair of guards.

LSU head coach Jay Johnson provides update on outfielder in the transfer portal before CWS
LSU head coach Jay Johnson provides update on outfielder in the transfer portal before CWS The College World Series hasn't even begun but the college baseball transfer portal has been open for over a week. We hear about it all the time in college football — the calendar isn't ideal. A similar sentiment could be said for baseball's calendar. A handful of LSU baseball players have announced their intention to transfer as LSU prepares for the College World Series. One of those names is outfielder Mic Paul. On Tuesday, LSU head coach Jay Johnson offered an update on Paul's status. Johnson said Paul will remain with the team and travel to Omaha, but he won't be on the Tigers' 27-man roster. Johnson took time to praise Paul and said, 'He's everything right about this program.' Paul is a redshirt sophomore from Salt Lake City, Utah. The outfielder was a member of LSU's national title team in 2023 but missed all of 2024 with an injury. In 2025, he's seen just eight at-bats with two hits and four walks. LSU's opening game vs. Arkansas is slated for 5 p.m. CT on Saturday evening. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
