“I liked her outfit because she had that ‘school girl’ look to her,” Fulvili said. “She had a skirt and she looked like she was going to class. I had my sweat too.”

Ja’meesia Ford supports Fulvili on and off the court, as she was seen during South Carolina’s heavyweight matchup against LSU on Friday and was the guard date for the April 2024 Gamecock Gala, where both won Freshman of the Year .

In an episode of “Homegrown: Milaysia Fulwiley” on the Gamecocks YouTube channel, the Columbia, South Carolina native said:

“At the end of the day, reputation and your personality is what people remember the most and the most important thing. I’m just trying to become a better version of myself off the court. Basketball is not my whole life.

“I want people to know me as something other than just a basketball player or a hot player. (I want people to know me) as a nice woman or nice or sweet or nice, just something like that.
