Arkansas basketball roster tracker 2024: Who is joining, leaving the Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — John Calipari will need to architecht a complete overhaul of the Arkansas basketball roster.

More: Arkansas basketball season comes to an end in SEC Tournament loss to South Carolina

Calipari now has a blank canvas to work with. It's expected he will target many of the six recruits who committed to him while he was at Kentucky and be aggressive in the transfer portal.

The Hogs wrapped up their season with a loss to South Carolina in the second round of the SEC Tournament.

For the first time since 2010, Arkansas finished its season with a losing record. This year also marks the first time Musselman has finished with a record under .500 in his college coaching career. Musselman, who is known for being an ace recruiter in the portal, will try to retool the roster this offseason.

The transfer portal opened Monday, March 18 and will close on May 1. Here's who's coming and going on the roster:

Players transferring to Arkansas basketball

Center: Zvonimir Ivišić

The 7-foot-2 Croatian became the first Arkansas player of the John Calipari era with his commitment on April; 15. Ivišić appeared in 15 games off the bench for the Wildcats this season, averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 11.7 minutes. He also showcased his shooting prowess during his freshman season, making 57.7% (30 for 52) of his attempts overall, including 37.5% (6 of 16) beyond the 3-point arc.

Players entering NBA Draft from Arkansas basketball

Forward: Trevon Brazile

Brazile entered the season as a potential lottery pick, but battled injuries and didn't quite live up the hype, averaging just 8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks while shooting 35% from 3. Still, Brazile was projected as a second-round pick in ESPN's latest mock draft and has all of the tools to carve out a role in the NBA with his elite combination of size and athleticism.

Players entering the portal from Arkansas basketball

Guard: Tramon Mark

Mark was the most consistent player all season for Arkansas, averaging 16.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. The Houston transfer shot 48% from the field and provided a memorable moment with the game-winner against Texas A&M inside Bud Walton Arena.

Guard: Khalif Battle

Battle closed the season strong by scoring at least 20 points in each of the final five games. Battle scored a season-high 42 points against Missouri on Feb. 24 and registered more than 30 points in two games immediately after that performance. Battle was second in scoring this season for Arkansas, averaging 14.3 points per game.

Center: Baye Fall

The 2023 McDonald's All-American is searching for a new home after scoring 7 total points in 9 appearances as a freshman. Fall hails from Sengal and was the No. 29 overall recruit in the country last year. He is the sixth-highest recruit Arkansas has signed in ESPN's rankings.

Guard: Davonte Davis

Davis helped Arkansas return to national prominence, leading the Hogs to an Elite 8 and a pair of trips to the Sweet 16. This year represented the lone blemish on Davis' resume, with Arkansas finishing under .500 and missing the NCAA Tournament. Davis averaged just 5.6 points during his senior season, the lowest mark of his career. He took a leave of absence from the program on Jan. 27 and missed three games as Arkansas went 1-2.

Guard: Layden Blocker

One of the prized recruits in the 2023 class, Blocker was impactful in spurts but never found a consistent role for Arkansas this season. He averaged 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds, but Blocker was at his best on the defensive end. The Little Rock native was the seventh-highest ranked high school prospect Arkansas has been signed in ESPN rankings, slotting 31st nationally in his class.

Guard: Joseph Pinion

Pinion wasn't much of a factor in this year's Hogs' rotation. His season-high in minutes was 21, which he reached twice, but he fell out of the mix early in the SEC schedule. Pinion was part of the 2022 Razorback signing class that ranked No. 2 nationally and the top-rated class in school history with six players on the ESPN and SI top 100 lists. He was the No. 89 recruit in the country according to ESPN's rankings.

Forward: Denijay Harris

Harris transferred to Arkansas from Southern Miss before the most recent season. Harris never worked himself into the rotation and logged more than 10 minutes in just three games. He leaves Fayetteville with one year of eligibility remaining.

Guard: Keyon Menifield Jr.

Menifield transferred in from Washington and spent a couple weeks as a key cog for Musselman. After becoming eligible midway through the season, Menifield bursted onto the scene with 32 points against UNCW in his third game with the Hogs. However, he was in-and-out of the rotation throughout the SEC and did not play much over the final two weeks. Last year, Menifield was a member of the Pac-12 All-Freshmen team.
