BREAKING NEWS: MiLaysia Fulwiley Announces Return for 2025–26 Season — “I’m Not Going Anywhere”
Columbia, South Carolina — In a moment that electrified the Colonial Life Arena, South Carolina Gamecocks’ dynamic guard MiLaysia Fulwiley made a stunning announcement Sunday: she’s coming back for the 2025–26 season.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Fulwiley declared to a roaring crowd, sparking a wave of cheers, chants, and uncontainable excitement from fans who have come to adore her flair, tenacity, and heart.
After a breakout sophomore campaign where Fulwiley dazzled with her handles, playmaking, and highlight-reel finishes, speculation had swirled about her potential jump to the WNBA. But in true Fulwiley fashion, the Columbia native turned the narrative on its head — right in her own backyard.
Head coach Dawn Staley, visibly moved, embraced Fulwiley midcourt as the announcement echoed through the arena. Moments later, Staley addressed the crowd, saying, “This is more than just a player returning. This is a commitment to unfinished business. MiLaysia is built for this, and so are we.”
Staley has pledged full support for Fulwiley’s continued development and hinted that the 2025–26 squad could be “one of the most dangerous we’ve ever put on the floor.” With Fulwiley at the helm, the Gamecocks remain firmly in the national title conversation.
The decision comes as a major boost to South Carolina’s roster following their dominant 2024–25 season. Fulwiley’s return solidifies the backcourt, infuses the team with veteran leadership, and keeps the spotlight on Columbia.
As fans flooded social media and student sections erupted in celebration, one thing became clear — MiLaysia Fulwiley isn’t just coming back. She’s coming for everything.
Stay tuned for more updates on South Carolina women’s basketball as they prepare for another title run.
