Arkansas basketball under John Calipari: Insiders release transfer portal news, 2024 roster, recruits, targets



The Arkansas Razorbacks hired veteran head coach John Calipari two months ago, and Calipari hired his son, Brad, as an assistant coach earlier this week. Brad spent last season as director of on-court player development under Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt. Every member of Arkansas’ new basketball coaching staff has ties to Kentucky, including Kenny Payne, Chin Coleman and Chuck Martin. The Razorbacks also have seven new scholarship players on their roster after every player on last year’s Arkansas basketball roster departed.

Calipari is expected to add more staff and more players to the college basketball transfer portal. The deadline for returning college players from the NBA Draft is approaching, which will create clarity regarding the transfers that are still available to fill out the Arkansas basketball roster.

Arkansas Basketball Roster Matches

Last year’s Arkansas team returned 36.3% of its scoring on the 2022-23 roster, which is a high rate in this transfer portal era. But this year’s Arkansas Razorbacks team returns 0.0003% of its scoring thanks to the only holdover, Lawson Blake, scoring just one point from a year ago. So Calipari has a complete roster overhaul to do as the 2024-25 Arkansas basketball team will have no continuity. Double-digit scorers Tramon Mark and Khalif Battle transferred, respectively, to Texas and Gonzaga as part of the mass exodus from Fayetteville.

The Razorbacks’ average age of 22.7 last season was the second oldest in Division I when weighted by minutes. The team is losing nine seniors and even those who lowered their average age have already left. Layden Blocker and Baye Fall, who were freshmen in the Class of 2023 and top-10 national prospects at their respective positions, have since committed to other programs. So while Calipari has done a good job of adding high-profile recruits and transfers, he still only has a seven-man roster, so there’s a lot of work to be done.

Arkansas Basketball News, Roster

The first domino to fall this offseason came when Kentucky forward Zvonimir Ivisic followed Calipari to Arkansas, and six players have committed to the Razorbacks since then. Karter Knox, Boogie Fland and Billy Richmond are all freshmen who have already committed to Kentucky. They are the only three players in Arkansas’ basketball recruiting class, but the Razorbacks are still in the top 10 in 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.

Forward Adou Thiero also followed Calipari from Kentucky to Arkansas after averaging 7.2 points and 5.0 rebounds for the Wildcats last season. Florida Atlantic guard Johnell Davis and Tennessee forward Jonas Aidoo also committed to Arkansas, so Calipari utilized the transfer portal. There are several other players on the portal that he reportedly has his eye on, and HawgSports has the latest details. Join HawgSports for the latest on all of Arkansas’ roster additions.
