Mississippi State is reloading its coaching staff and roster for a NCAA Tournament push, with Chris Jans bringing back former assistant Corey Barker — who’s got deep ties to Jans and a rich coaching resume spanning from Prairie View A&M to TCU and New Mexico State. Barker’s return joins Shunn Buchanan and Scott Barlow, as the Bulldogs also bolster their roster via the transfer portal. With a revamped staff and fresh talent, MSU opens its season Nov. 2 with eyes firmly set on postseason glory.
