“She f*ck around and go to USC”: Ex-Cowboys star Dez Bryant reacts as MiLaysia Fulwiley enters the transfer portal

South Carolina standout MiLaysia Fulwiley has entered the transfer portal in a surprising twist. Gamecock coach Dawn Staley tends to keep a solid rapport with her players, particularly the stars. As a sophomore, Fulwiley averaged 11.7 points per game, second-best on the USC roster. She was a likely star at Carolina for her remaining two seasons, until her transfer portal bombshell dropped.

Plenty of fans had strong reactions but few as intense as former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant, who dropped a particularly heated reaction to the Fulwiley news on X:

"I'm not surprised.. I saw this coming! She f**k around and go to USC.. mmh mmh"

Varied reactions to Fulwiley's portal entry

"Women's college hoops is on the rise," noted one fan. "Transfer portal might kill some of that momentum."

"Her talent is begging for better development and coaching," wrote one fan. "Hopefully, she will find a better school.

Perhaps the most interesting post was one fan who depicted Fulwiley in a UConn uniform next to Huskies star Sarah Strong.

Fulwiley's Gamecock career

Fulwiley averaged 11.7 points per game in each of her two seasons at South Carolina. She started only three games, all of which were in her freshman season. Fulwiley's production did decline slightly in her sophomore season. Her shooting percentage fell from 44% to 43%, and her 3-point numbers declined from 34% to 26%.

Fulwiley saw her assist numbers decline slightly from 2.2 assists per game to 2.0. Meanwhile, her turnover numbers increased from 1.7 turnovers per game to 1.9 turnovers.

Fulwiley didn't play over 21 minutes in any of South Carolina's NCAA Tournament games. She had 23 points in the Gamecocks' Sweet 16 win over Maryland but scored just 21 points in South Carolina's final three games of the Tournament, including the 82-59 loss to UConn in the national title game.

South Carolina's future (likely without Fulwiley)

If Fulwiley does indeed leave, the cupboard is hardly bare at South Carolina. Freshman Joyce Edwards was the top scorer on this year's team, and there's a sense that Edwards may be just scratching the surface of her extensive abilities.

Forward Chloe Kitts and guard Raven Johnson will both be returning starters for the Gamecocks. The Gamecocks will also add a pair of McDonald's All-American in their freshman class with wings Agot Makeer and Ayla McDowell.
