Mississippi State Bulldogs reshape their roster with 21 transfer portal additions, but is a B- grade enough to spark a breakthrough next season? Jaron Spor and Landon McBride debate the strengths and weaknesses of the transfer class, spotlighting defensive line standouts Daelyn Evans, Amaree Williams, and Jayson Jenkins. The conversation questions if offensive upgrades—including Marquis Johnson at wide receiver and Riley Williams at tight end—can compensate for concerns at running back and offensive line. Will Kamario Taylor and the new faces propel the Bulldogs past their SEC rivals?

Key topics include Mississippi State’s challenging 2026 football schedule, the implications of portal misses, and what it takes to topple Ole Miss in the rivalry game. Plus, celebrate the legacy of basketball legends Eric Dampier and Jeff Malone as their jerseys are retired.
