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



Following the decision to leave Kentucky this offseason, John Calipari is hoping to put Arkansas basketball back on the map after the program missed the NCAA tournament last season. Arkansas doesn’t have a single scholarship player from last year’s team returning at the moment and Calipari has decided to rebuild the Arkansas basketball roster. He signed three of college basketball’s top 25 recruits in the class of 2024 and then brought three of his Kentucky alumni with him into the college basketball transfer portal.

However, Calipari will still need to make more additions before the start of the season, with just eight commitments in total. Who else will Arkansas basketball target on the Arkansas basketball recruiting trail and what is Calipari’s long-term vision for the program?

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

Calipari has been widely considered one of the best recruiters in the country and quickly convinced several players with connections from his Kentucky days to join him in Fayetteville. Boogie Fland, Karter Knox and Billy Richmond were all Kentucky signees in the class of 2024 who were released from their national letters of intent and opted to follow Calipari to Arkansas.

Meanwhile, DJ Wagner, Adou Thiero and Zvonimir Ivisic were all on Kentucky’s roster last season and will join Calipari with the Hawgs after entering the college basketball transfer portal. Calipari was also able to secure commitments in the transfer portal from second-team All-SEC center Jonas Aidoo (Tennessee) and 2023-24 AAC Player of the Year Johnell Davis, who helped lead FAU to the Final Four in 2023.
