Throughout his legendary coaching career, John Calipari has earned the reputation as one of the top recruiters in the history of college basketball. Calipari used his stellar recruiting ability to turn UMass and Memphis into national powerhouses, and he resurrected the Kentucky Wildcats, one of the sport’s traditional blue blood programs. The 66-year-old coach has already made his presence felt on the Arkansas basketball recruiting trail in his brief time as the head coach of the Razorbacks. In Calipari’s first full season on the job, the Razorbacks signed the No. 6 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports.
The Arkansas basketball recruiting class features three players: two five star prospects, and one four-star.

Arkansas basketball roster news
Last offseason, Arkansas went through a complete roster overhaul after Calipari was hired away from Kentucky. That wasn’t the case this offseason, but the Hawgs still have several key players to replace. Standouts Boogie Fland and Adou Thiero both declared for the NBA Draft, while guard Johnell Davis has no remaining college eligibility. Sophomore Zvonimir Ivisic, a 7-foot-2 forward from Croatia, transferred to Illinois to play with his brother Tomislav. Ivisic averaged 8.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in his lone season in Fayetteville.
Arkansas has three players signed in its 2025 recruiting class, led by five-star prospects Darius Acuff Jr. and Meleek Thomas. Acuff is the No. 1 ranked point guard and No. 5 overall prospect in the 2025 class, while Thomas is the No. 2 combo guard and No. 12 overall prospect. They are joined by Isaiah Sealy, a local four-star combo guard from Springdale, Arkansas. Get the latest Arkansas basketball roster news at HawgSports.com.
