[Mid-Major Madness @mid_madness]

Jack Smiley (Belmont), Rashund Washington (UIC), and Kaden Magwood (Murray State) are names to keep tabs on.

More weight behind Jack Smiley being thought of as a 1st team/POTY candidate in the MVC this season. At this point I would pencil in at least 2 Belmont players per year that exhibit a Scharnowski/Orme level jump in development and expect most MVC fans to overlook them prior to it

[Jonathan Lidskin @JonathanLidskin]

The transfer portal era is in full force, but for many mid-major teams, the backbone of the program is still development.

In the Missouri Valley, there are plenty of breakout candidates. Here are 3 that I'm keeping my eye on in my latest for @mid_madness

🚨 NOW — PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH THE EPIC MOMENT: "Curt Cignetti. Where is Curt Cignetti?!"

CIGNETTI: Right here! 🤣

TRUMP: *Pulls him close* "Curt Cignetti has turned out to be the coach of the LAST DECADE! He took a team, nobody knew him or the team — he took this team all the way."

"People betted against you ALL THE WAY."

"He took over after a 3 and 9 season, and set a tone few people have seen in the HISTORY of college football."

"In 2023...he said, I KNOW HOW TO WIN."

"I like this guy!"

"Just 2 years later, he brought home the national championship." 🔥

[Ryan Smiley @RySmiley10]

I really like the way this roster is shaping up! @BelmontMBB

From dead last on the final turn to winning the Kentucky Derby. It’s never over til it’s over. One of the profound lessons in life.

[Jizzle @ValleyRunsDeep]

And there it is. Casey Alexander brings over 0 players from Belmont. His stated reason for taking the K State job was to be able to keep the talent he’s developed. Not a great start on that

[Belmont Basketball @BelmontMBB]

🎥 Unbelievable tradition. Excited to work with Coach Bradds.

"Multiple sources have told Basket Under Review that Belmont’s athletic administration has been intentional about allocating more money towards roster building, though. The indication is that Belmont has significantly more money to spend and has adjusted its way of thinking. "

[Joey Dwyer @joey_dwy]

Belmont coach Evan Bradds left the program nine years ago, saw his life derailed and encountered basketball royalty. As a result, he's back in Nashville as @BelmontMBB's head coach.

“This is a dream come true,” he told @basket_review.

[Ben McKee @benmckee14]

Notre Dame transfer Jalen Haralson has committed to Tennessee, his father tells @GoVols247.

Why did Jalen Haralson pick the Vols? "Coach Barnes. His ability to get guys to the next level. Obviously, we'll have a good team here. So, it's a good spot."
