Summary

This weekend's Major League Baseball draft provided two issues for Mississippi State, wanting to see their current players get drafted while getting as many members of their highly rated recruiting class on to campus. It was mission accomplished for Brian O'Connor, who saw five of his top eight prospects avoid being selected while getting to congratulate Ace Reese on becoming the latest Diamond Dawg to go in the first round. Brian Hadad looks at how it all came together for State. Brian Hadad of SportsTalk Mississippi and Carlo Barone, along with legendary Diamond Dawg Brooks Bryan, give you the best insight into Mississippi State athletics. Covering the Bulldogs like no one else. This show is a production of SuperTalk Mississippi Media. Learn more at SuperTalk.FM
