Arkansas basketball under John Calipari: Insiders say transfer portal news, 2025 recruits, roster, and targets

One year after having to replace every scholarship player on the Arkansas basketball roster, the Razorbacks are projected to enter the 2025-26 college basketball season with a solid core in place and a top-notch recruiting class. Last offseason, Arkansas hired John Calipari away from Kentucky in a move that shook up the college basketball landscape. Calipari built his inaugural Arkansas basketball roster almost entirely through the college basketball transfer portal, landing the No. 1 transfer class in the country. That group exceeded expectations, leading the Hawgs on a surprise run to the Sweet 16.
Arkansas has the No. 6 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports. Calipari is also likely going to have former top prospects D.J. Wagner and Karter Knox for another season in Fayetteville.
