Mississippi State Basketball Still Strong Despite Stapleton and Wright Transfers

Related Topics: Malik Newman

Welp, another offseason, another round of transfers for the Mississippi State basketball team.

While this is tough considering Eli Wright and Xavian Stapleton were solid contributors for the Bulldogs throughout most of this season, this does not have the same sting as the transfers of the last couple of years.

In the offseason of 2016, we saw highly touted Malik Newman leave for Kansas which really came to sting slightly seeing how well he played in helping lead the Jayhawks to a Final Four this year. In 2017, we were shocked to learn that Mario Kegler, one of the leading scorers for the team, was bolting to be a Baylor Bear.
