He made quick work of bringing in members of his star-studded 2024 Kentucky class to become new Arkansas basketball recruits.

Trevon Brazile, a 6-foot-9 forward, was a preseason All-SEC selection last season but had a disappointing redshirt sophomore season and averaged 8.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game after returning from an ACL injury in December 2022, which ended his true sophomore year. year. But Brazile decided to hire an agent and declare for the 2024 NBA Draft so Arkansas fans won’t have the opportunity to see a freshman comeback from him. Brazile announced his decision to enter the draft around the same time Calipari was signing with Arkansas as he still wanted to turn pro.

Arkansas Basketball News, Roster
Arkansas signed two of the best players in the transfer portal when FAU guard Johnell Davis and Tennessee big man Jonas Aidoo committed to play for the Razorbacks. Davis is still going through the NBA draft process after sharing AAC Player of the Year honors last year, but he is expected to withdraw his name from the draft. He averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and his leadership could play a crucial role for the Razorbacks.
Aidoo averaged 11.4 points and 7.3 rebounds for the Vols last season, recording six double-doubles in conference games. He also ranked third in the SEC in blocked shots (66), so he gives Calipari a rim protector defensively. Davis and Aidoo join a roster that includes Kentucky transfer Zvonimir Ivisic and several star-studded recruits. Join HawgSports for the latest on all of Arkansas’ roster additions.
