Shakeel Moore, Mississippi State starting guard, makes decision on 2022-23 season

Shakeel Moore came to Mississippi State from NC State via the transfer portal ahead of the 2021-22 season and made a huge impact in Starkville.

But, as the Bulldogs shift from Ben Howland to Chris Jans at head coach, many players are reconsidering their futures.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Moore had decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal to explore his options ahead of the 2022-23 campaign:

The Bulldogs brought in several big-name transfers last year, but now they’re all gone after only 1 season in Starkville:
