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



It didn’t take long for John Calipari to make his presence felt at the University of Arkansas. Since being hired from Kentucky following the 2024 NCAA Tournament, Calipari has managed to put together the third overall recruiting class and the No. 1 transfer class in the country, according to 247Sports. He pillaged his old Kentucky basketball roster, knocking out three top-25 high school recruits and landing three coveted transfers, who played their freshman seasons in Lexington.

Calipari was hired with the intention of returning the Arkansas basketball roster to the upper echelon of college sports. The Razorbacks won the national championship in 1994, and with Calipari’s recruiting prowess, it won’t be long before the Razorbacks reemerge as a college basketball powerhouse.

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. Join HawgSports for the latest on all of Arkansas’ roster changes.

Arkansas Basketball News, Roster

Arkansas’ high school recruiting class currently consists of just three players, but those three players were enough for the Razorbacks to climb as high as No. 6 in the high school composite rankings, according to 247Sports. The three high school players who joined the Hawgs were ranked in the top 25 nationally and have elite athletic ability. Forward Billy Richmond, guard Boogie Fland and forward Karter Knox have decided to follow coach Cal to Fayetteville and will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact in the SEC.

The highest-rated transfer Arkansas signed was former FAU guard Johnell Davis. The 6-foot-1 guard was a key piece in the Owls’ Cinderella run to the Final Four in 2023 and is coming off a season in which he averaged 18.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Davis was the No. 3 overall transfer prospect in the country when the Spring Transfer Portal opened, according to 247Sports. Join HawgSports for the latest on all of Arkansas’ roster additions.
