Summary
Mississippi State has had a good week on the recruiting trail and the source of that good news comes from within the home state. The Bulldogs picked up a pair of homegrown standouts on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Friday, the NCAA ruled that the recommendations of the working group for one time transfers would not be implemented at this time. What does that mean for Mississippi State?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Roberts, and as always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday edition of the yard. Hope things are well with you wherever you are today, pardon me, we're tongue tied there. Isn't it great that we live in a country that we can celebrate Maroon Friday however we choose? It is Friday. I hope it's a payday for you, for you weekly wage runners. It probably should be. And for those of us to get paid on the first and 15th is absolutely payday. So hope that you guys are able to get out and go do some things. I know there's not a lot to do recreationally these days, at least not go to theaters or concerts or anything like that. And listen, it's been, what, about six weeks now? I think that's |
| 0:39.8 | right. It's been about six weeks now. And all of that entertainment stuff feels so far removed. You |
| 0:48.9 | know what I'm saying? It feels like forever since we've been to a ballgame, a movie, a concert. |
| 0:57.5 | It's one of those things. I remember we were in Nashville for the SEC Publishers 247 conference and just kind of kind of going over |
| 1:04.6 | the recent year and looking ahead. It's an exciting time for our industry and our network |
| 1:10.7 | and we were doing |

| 1:17.5 | there, and it was, we were getting ready to play the SEC men's basketball tournament. And those |
| 1:22.4 | days, some of us were kind of at odds. You know, we're thinking, you know what, we have to be, at least beat Florida to get into |
| 1:31.0 | the NCAA tournament. |
| 1:31.9 | Others thought we had to probably beat Kentucky and get to the final to get into the NCAA |
| 1:38.1 | tournament. |
| 1:38.9 | We all agreed we had not done enough to get into the NCAA tournament. |
| 1:43.4 | We had not done enough. We needed to NCAA tournament. We had not done enough. |
| 1:44.5 | We needed to continue winning. |
| 1:47.1 | I think the consensus opinion was we were probably bound for the NIT. |
| 1:52.3 | And even in hindsight, most people had kind of, you know, it was kind of a foregone conclusion. |
| 1:56.4 | We were going to beat Florida, which is completely false, even though we had beaten Florida in Gainesville, |
| 2:04.0 | there was no guarantee. We just slipped right by Florida and play Kentucky. But I remember then |
| 2:10.7 | thinking, it was such a big week. It's going to be a big week for Ben Howland. I mean, he could |
| 2:15.4 | afford, of course, to lose that first ball game, |
