Bears Lose A Transfer

Mustafa Lawrence, who finished his freshman campaign strong, will transfer. Cryotherapy victim will stay and redshirt (the other went to Middle Tennessee).

Dana Ford’s brought in a strong recruiting class but the rotation seems to be in flux. Lots of new faces for the 3 first-year head coaches.

I thought Lawrence was a pretty good player.

This means that Missouri State now has a scholarship open right?

I did too. It's a loss for sure. Yes there are now actually 2 scholarships open i believe.

I wonder if this will result in 4 star DePaul transfer Justin Roberts signing with Missouri State. Looks like some playing time at PG just opened up.

ALL coaches are always looking to upgrade, no matter how great a current player seems to fans

Are you suggesting it was Coach Ford's decision that Lawrence not return?

Would doubt it. Have a Texas Tech grad transfer coming in.

Still need a 5 to compete with Obi this year. Would imagine one goes there.

I find that hard to believe but new coaches get a lot of rope.
