Arkansas basketball was left with a vacancy at head coach when former coach Eric Musselman left for USC, and the Razorbacks responded quickly by hiring former Kentucky coach John Calipari. The 2024-25 season is less than seven months away, so Calipari has been working to build his staff and fill out his first roster at Arkansas. Musselman led the Razorbacks to Elite Eight runs in 2021 and 2022 along with a Sweet 16 appearance in 2023. Prior to the 2021 season, Arkansas had not earned a Sweet 16 berth in 25 years.
Calipari is one of the premier names in the sport, taking Kentucky to the national title in 2012 and four Final Fours in his first six seasons in Lexington. He routinely landed top-ranked recruiting classes, something he is trying to do during his first offseason with Arkansas.
