John Calipari shocked college basketball when he left the Kentucky Wildcats for the Arkansas Razorbacks last offseason. When he arrived in Fayetteville, he had no scholarship players left on the Arkansas basketball roster and had to build a new lineup from scratch. He raided the coffers at Kentucky of former players and commitments and wound up leading the Razorbacks to the Sweet 16 in his first season at Arkansas, something he hadn’t done since 2019 at Kentucky.
Now, Calipari is expecting five scholarship athletes to return in 2025-26 and is adding four freshmen and two transfers to the Arkansas basketball lineup. However, he’ll also add more pieces in the college basketball transfer portal before it closes on April 22.
