Summary

Mississippi State entered the transfer portal with two obvious needs, and now three weeks in, you can't say with certainty the Bulldogs have met either of them. Brian Hadad and Robbie Faulk try and make sense of why Jeff Lebby and staff haven't been able to take care of what were the biggest concerns for his team's offseason. Brian Hadad of SportsTalk Mississippi and Robbie Faulk of On3 give you the best insight into Mississippi State athletics. We cover the Bulldogs like no one else. This show is a production of SuperTalk Mississippi Media. Learn more at SuperTalk.FM
