Breaking News: LSU Emerging as Top Contender for MiLaysia Fulwiley and Serah Williams, Potentially Forming One of Nation’s Most Dynamic Teams
The women’s college basketball landscape is on high alert as LSU positions itself as the frontrunner to land two of the most electric players in the transfer portal: MiLaysia Fulwiley and Serah Williams. With buzz building around the Tigers’ recruiting efforts, Baton Rouge could soon be home to a team poised to dominate the national conversation — and perhaps the national rankings — next season.
MiLaysia Fulwiley, the dynamic guard from South Carolina, made waves as a freshman with her dazzling ball-handling, explosive scoring ability, and court vision far beyond her years. Known for her viral highlight reels and fearless play style, Fulwiley quickly became a fan favorite. Her decision to explore opportunities outside of South Carolina stunned many, but it also opened the door for programs like LSU to pursue one of the most talented young guards in the country.
Then there’s Serah Williams — a rising star from Wisconsin whose dominance in the paint and relentless motor have made her one of the most sought-after forwards in the country. Williams averaged a double-double last season and showed steady growth on both ends of the floor, particularly with her rebounding, shot-blocking, and post presence. Her physicality and basketball IQ make her an instant-impact player wherever she lands.
Landing either Fulwiley or Williams would be a massive win for any program. Landing both would be a game-changer — and that’s exactly what LSU seems to be on the verge of doing.
Head coach Kim Mulkey is no stranger to high-profile recruiting victories. After delivering LSU a national championship in 2023, she has consistently drawn top-tier talent to Baton Rouge. The program already boasts elite facilities, strong NIL support, and a fan base hungry for continued success. Adding Fulwiley and Williams to the roster could elevate the Tigers to a new level of dominance.
What makes this potential pairing even more intriguing is how well Fulwiley and Williams complement each other on the floor. Fulwiley thrives in transition and can break down defenses with ease, while Williams brings interior toughness and consistency in the halfcourt. Together, they offer a blend of speed, skill, and power that few teams in the country could match. Their presence would not only boost LSU’s scoring and defensive prowess but also bring a unique swagger and excitement to the program.
The SEC would undoubtedly take notice, as LSU’s stock would soar with this tandem. With perennial powerhouses like South Carolina and Tennessee in the mix, adding Fulwiley and Williams could tip the scales and reassert LSU as the team to beat in the conference.
While nothing is official yet, momentum appears to be shifting in LSU’s favor. The next few days will be critical as the Tigers look to close the deal and lock in what could be the most impactful recruiting haul of the offseason.
If LSU succeeds, college basketball fans can expect fireworks in Baton Rouge — because with MiLaysia Fulwiley and Serah Williams in purple and gold, the Tigers wouldn’t just be good — they’d be must-watch.
