South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley enters transfer portal, AP source says
South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley is officially in the transfer portal, according to a person with access to it.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
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 has already 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 last week.

Mexico wins Gold Cup group despite scoreless draw vs. Costa Rica
Mexico tied Costa Rica 0-0 on Sunday night to win Group A of the CONCACAF Gold Cup and will play Saudi Arabia in the quarterfinals. Mexico's Santiago Gimenez appeared to score on a bicycle kick in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, but the goal was disallowed by Guatemalan referee Mario Escobar following a video review. Giménez appeared to be offside when Carlos Rodríguez lofted the ball into the penalty area following a free kick. Orlando Galo's headed clearance attempt went in front of the goal to Giménez. Mexico, unbeaten in 10 Gold Cup matches against Costa Rica, finished even with the Ticos at seven points but won the group on goal difference. El Tri, which defeated the Dominican Republic and Suriname in their first two matches, will play Saudi Arabia next weekend while the Costa Ricans will face the United States. Costa Rica will be missing four regular starters. Forward Manfred Ugalde, who has three goals in the tournament, and midfielder Carlos Mora are suspended for yellow-card accumulation. Defender Ariel Lassiter has a fractured left hand and forward Warren Madrigal a broken left leg. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Dawn Staley Says Caitlin Clark's Most 'Dangerous' Weapon is Making Others Better
Head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball team, Dawn Staley, has led her squad to three NCAA championships over their last nine seasons, reaching the championship game a total of five times during that span. Staley is also someone who saw great success on the court in her own right during her playing days at the University of Virginia, impressively leading her team to the Final Four three times during her four years in college. Advertisement So, in short, when the 55-year-old Staley chimes in with an opinion on women's hoops, or basketball in general, it makes plenty of sense to listen. On Wednesday, Staley made an appearance on Kylie Kelce's popular Not Gonna Lie podcast, and the two ended up talking about WNBA star Caitlin Clark, who's been an especially hot name this week. Surprisingly, Staley explained in detail why she believes Clark's well-documented three-point shooting ability with seemingly endless range, is actually not what she deems to be the Indiana Fever star's most valuable and, as she put it, "most dangerous" skill on the court. Advertisement "She [Clark] can beat you in a variety of ways. She can beat you obviously with her three-point shot," Staley said. "But for me, the most dangerous thing of Caitlin Clark is her passing ability. Her ability to make other people better. Her ability to have other people's production go up along with her production." Staley went on to explain why, when she coached against Clark in the NCAA tournament on two different occasions, giving up points wasn't nearly as big of a concern as it was had Iowa's famous No. 22 filled up the stat sheet in other ways. "That was our emphasis when we won, when beat them [Iowa]...We said Caitlin Clark's gonna get 30 [points]. But she can't have 12 assists. Because if she's got 12 assists, then she's involving her teammates in a way that doesn't quite add up. We can't produce enough points like they can." Staley also explained to Kelce during her appearance that Clark is "quite incredible" and "quite an anomaly," and credited her for bringing so many eyeballs to the WNBA, particularly all the "new eyeballs." Advertisement The accomplished Staley expressed that, while she had only coached against Clark twice, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year has probably been "the most difficult player to scout" due to the variety of ways in which she can beat a team with her innate ability to get other teammates involved, while also housing the ability to be a highly-prolific scorer.

Dawn Staley Shows True Character With Comment On Caitlin Clark
Dawn Staley Shows True Character With Comment On Caitlin Clark originally appeared on The Spun. Dawn Staley is showing her true character with a comment on Caitlin Clark and her fans. The legendary South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball coach, who has led the program to three national championships, twice faced Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Tournament. Clark and the Hawkeyes pulled off an upset in 2023, advancing to the national title game, where they lost to LSU. Then, in 2024, Clark and Co. fell to Staley's Gamecocks in the national title game. Advertisement It would be understandable if Staley wasn't the biggest fan of Clark. However, that does not appear to be the case at all. Staley appeared on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast this week. She opened up about her thoughts on Clark and the WNBA star's fan base. TAMPA, FLORIDA - APRIL 5: Head coach Dawn Staley of the South Carolina Gamecocks speaks to media ahead of the 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Championship game at Amalie Arena on April 5, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Thien-An Truong/)Thien-An Truong/Staley made it clear that she was - and is - a very big fan of the Indiana Fever superstar. However, Staley made it clear that Clark is criticizable, too. "She's quite incredible, quite an anomaly when it comes to how many eyeballs she's bringing on the game," Staley said. "And the newness of those eyeballs — they only want her to do well. Only want you to speak very highly of her. Only, you know, want you to agree with what they agree with. And that's kind of hard." Advertisement Staley said that it's hard because, "we're critics to everyone that plays the game. We're critics. It is part of the fabric of sports. It's part of athletics. It's the competition. That's what we do." It's not easy for someone like Staley to be so honest about Clark, given the discussions surrounding the Indiana Fever star. However, she made sure to let her feelings on Clark be known. Staley understands just how dynamic Clark is, too. "For me, the most dangerous thing of Caitlin Clark is her passing ability," she said. "Her ability to make other people better, and her ability to have other people's production along with her production. That's how you win." Advertisement Clark is as good of a shooter as women's basketball has ever seen, but Staley thinks her passing is what makes her most dangerous. Staley could face some criticism for her comments, though she's standing by them.
