After a season of turnover, Belmont men's basketball is finding its footing.

The team has announced the returns of Jack Smiley, Cooper Haynes, Isaiah West, Eoin Dillon, Jabez Jenkins and Graydon Lemke in recent days.

Additionally, three key staff changes were announced.

Brendan Mullins, who spent last year as Murray State's associate head coach, will share that title with Brian Ayers at Belmont in the upcoming season.

Ja'Darius Harris, who worked with Bradds at Duke University under Jon Scheyer, will join the staff as an assistant coach.

And Clay Holmes, who spent the last two years as a graduate assistant under Casey Alexander, was promoted to director of basketball operations.

"I think the staff that we've built so far is going to be incredible for Belmont basketball," Bradds said in an interview with Steve Layman.
