Mississippi State is entering a new era, switching from Ben Howland as its head men’s basketball coach to Chris Jans.
Several players entered the transfer portal ahead of the 2022-23 season, but as the offseason has worn on, a couple have withdrawn their names in order to remain in school.
On Monday, walk-on guard Justin Rumph became the latest Bulldog to remove his name from the portal and commit to Mississippi State for the upcoming year:
