Fulwiley’s move to LSU has been met with mixed reactions. While some see it as a strategic decision to join a program with championship aspirations, others question the fit. Van Lith’s advice underscores the importance of considering personal happiness and fit over external factors like NIL opportunities or the pursuit of championships.([On3][4])
