Arkansas basketball made a major move by poaching John Calipari from the Kentucky Wildcats last offseason. An up-and-down season ended on a major positive with Calipari leading the Razorbacks to the Sweet 16. Now, Calipari will turn his attention to the college basketball transfer portal to try to take Arkansas to the next level. Who are the top Arkansas basketball transfer targets and what are the biggest needs this offseason? Calipari has already signed a pair of top-five recruits in the Class of 2025 expected to make an immediate impact on the Arkansas basketball roster, but adding experience is also a high priority. If you love the Razorbacks, or want the latest roster updates and college basketball transfer portal news, be sure to see what the proven team of insiders are saying at Phog.net, the 247Sports affiliate that covers Arkansas.  

The team of insiders at HawgSports.com. are providing up-to-the-minute scoop on the latest intel surrounding the Arkansas basketball roster and Transfer Portal news.

Trey Biddy, Danny West and Connor Goodson have a combined 30 years of experience covering the Razorbacks professionally.

Arkansas basketball roster news

There are over 1,000 players who have entered the college basketball transfer portal already this offseason and that includes Arkansas guard Casmir Chavis. The point guard from Minneapolis was originally a three-star recruit in the Class of 2024 and chose the Razorbacks over offers from Washington, Arizona State and Georgia. However, he only played in one game this season and entered the portal on April 1.

That will free up a valuable roster spot for Calipari and he’s already targeting some heavy hitters to fill it. Former UAB forward and two-time AAC Defensive Player of the Year Yaxel Lendeborg has already been contacted by Calipari’s staff (though he’s also dipping his toe in the 2025 NBA Draft pool). Sam Houston State guard Lamar Wilkerson, an Arkansas native, also had a Zoom meeting with staff after averaging 20.5 points per game last season. Get the latest Arkansas basketball roster news at HawgSports.com.

However, the 38-year-old Serbian faces formidable challenges, including stiff competition from rising stars and the physical demands of the tournament. Seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander offers insight into what Djokovic needs to secure victory in New York.The challenge of facing top contendersWilander, a former World No. 1, acknowledges Djokovic's exceptional skill but points out the difficulty of facing both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the same tournament.

NFL Preseason Week 3 Game Recap: Tennessee Titans 23, Minnesota Vikings 13

Kačena pro nás znamená klid. Fanoušci by přijeli i do Štýrského Hradce, říkal Saňák

Trenére, proč na pozápasové povinnosti nedorazil Martin Svědík?Musím ho omluvit. V zápase ztratil hlas. Dali jsme do toho všechno i my trenéři a klukům pomáhali.Nebyli jste spokojení s výkonem?Upřímně říkám, že ne všechno se povedlo. Pořád to ladíme. Zkrátka jsme museli v zápase zabrat úplně všichni a Martin to odnesl hlasivkami. Ale jsme rádi, že jsme vyhráli. Zápas podle mě vystihuje slovo „efektivita“. Přijeli jsme si přesně pro takovou výhru, kdy neinkasujeme. Počítá se to.V úvodu sezony na vás padala jen slova chvály. Přišlo vystřízlivění?Měli jsme obrovskou obměnu kádru. Přišlo deset nových hráčů, a to vždycky potřebuje čas. Paradoxně ty výsledky na začátku ligy šly trochu proti nám. Všichni říkali, že to pojede, ale ono není jednoduché takový tlak v hlavách ustát. Teď si spíš zvykáme na to, že proti nám soupeři nemusejí hledat extra motivaci. O to víc si ale tří bodů s Chrudimí vážíme.Dají se očekávat ještě nějaké […]
