The Arkansas basketball offseason is upon us, and new Razorbacks head coach John Calipari has some work to do to fill the remaining five open scholarships on the roster ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Arkansas received its first transfer commitment of the offseason when Kentucky stretch big man Zvonimir Ivisic followed his former head coach and made his pledge to the Hogs. The Hogs have since added seven more players, including three freshmen and five transfers.
As things currently stand, every player from last season’s Razorback roster has either exhausted their eligibility, entered the transfer portal or declared for the NBA Draft. Calipari has filled the voids with a portion of the freshman class he had committed at Kentucky, plus some highly-touted transfers.
“Look, there’s going to be enough kids that would want to play here for us,” Calipari said on April 10. “That will be fine. I really believe that. And you know, whether I was at UMass or Memphis or at Kentucky, kids want play for us and hopefully it’s because we put them first and their families know it.”
HawgBeat will keep the current roster tracker updated, as well as the contacts that the Razorback coaching staff reportedly makes during the transfer portal process:
