The Arkansas Razorbacks suffered a heartbreaking 85-83 overtime loss to Texas Tech in the Sweet 16, ending their 2024-25 campaign. Head coach John Calipari is already thinking ahead to next season, as the transfer portal is open and Arkansas will need to fill several holes on the roster.
Calipari acknowledged that his decision to have only nine rotational players was a mistake and with the NCAA increasing available scholarships to 15 for next season, Arkansas is expected to be a much deeper team. Calipari will need to sit down with his players to discuss who is returning and who may be leaving for the NBA draft or to finish their eligibility.
While no announcements have been made yet, it is expected that some players will move on. Calipari will have to strategize on which positions to prioritize filling in the roster. Despite the tough loss, the Razorbacks are determined to bounce back next season and make another postseason run.
Fans will have to wait for the decisions of the players to see who will be returning to the program, but Calipari is already preparing for a stronger team in the upcoming season. Arkansas will be looking to build on this season’s successes and make a deeper run in the NCAA tournament.
