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.

John Calipari has been building the Arkansas Razorbacks into a college basketball powerhouse since accepting the head coaching gig with the SEC program. After putting the Kentucky Wildcats on a pedestal in terms of national recognition, Calipari made the move to Arkansas and helped the program reach the Sweet 16.

With the transfer portal set to close Tuesday night, coaches are working diligently to replace players lost to graduation and the portal itself. The SEC proved to be one of the toughest conferences during the season.
