Arkansas basketball made a splash when it lured head coach John Calipari away from Kentucky last offseason. With the Razorbacks’ 2024-25 season now in the books, it’s safe to say the aggressive move paid dividends. Despite battling injuries to several key players, the Hawgs went 22-14 during the regular season and earned a No. 10 seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket. The Razorbacks went on to beat Kansas and St. John’s to advance to the Sweet 16, where they lost to Texas Tech in overtime. Calipari and his staff have a strong core group of players returning and now turned their attention to adding depth and strengthening the Arkansas basketball roster.
The college basketball transfer portal is officially open through Tuesday, April 22. Arkansas won’t be as aggressive in the portal this offseason as they were after Calipari was hired, but the coaching staff has already been in contact with several of the top available transfers.

Arkansas basketball roster news
Calipari was forced to lean heavily on the Transfer Portal when he built his initial Arkansas basketball roster. This offseason, the legendary coach was able to tap into his ability as a recruiter to piece together one of the top high school recruiting classes in the country.
Arkansas has three players signed in its 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 No. 2 combo guard and No. 12 overall prospect. They are joined by Isaiah Sealy, a four-star combo guard from Springdale, Arkansas. Get the latest Arkansas basketball roster news at HawgSports.com.
