Stapleton will graduate in May and have a year of eligibility remaining under the graduate-transfer rule. Wright was one of six sophomores on this year’s team.
Aside from these transfers, Mississippi State should return the bulk of its rotation entering the 2018-19 season. Ben Howland’s squad featured only one senior, with Drew Davis appearing in just eight games.
The Bulldogs finished 25-12 this season and advanced to the NIT semifinals before losing to eventual champion Penn State.
