The John Calipari era at Arkansas has begun after the longtime Kentucky head coach joined the Razorbacks in April. Following in the footsteps of Eric Musselman while leaving behind an impressive legacy behind him in Lexington. Calipari is now tasked with rebuilding the Arkansas program from the ground up after admitting that ‘there is no team’ in his introductory press conference. Which will require some work in the NCAA transfer portal. And during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Calipari pulled back the curtain on his roster-building strategy at large including the importan...

New school, new John Calipari. In a conversation with Jim Rome, the Arkansas head coach revealed how his roster-building philosophies have adjusted to the modern college landscape. “I can’t recruit seven freshmen on my team. I can’t do it anymore because teams are too old,” Calipari said. “My average age on my team last year was 19.4. The teams that we were playing against were 24 years old. “Kids—because of NIL—don’t ever want to leave. ‘How else can I stay two more years.’ Here’s the point. We were all in school, fighting to get out. They’re all fighting to stay in.” Under Calipari last seas...

John Calipari is bringing fresh beliefs with him to his new environment. This past week, the newly hired Arkansas head coach revealed how his philosophies on roster construction have changed. “Things have changed,” Calipari said. “My team last year, the average age was 19.4. The [average age of the] team we played (Oakland) was 24. Tyler Herro called me after the game and said, ‘I’ve been in the NBA for five seasons, and I’m 24.’ They had a guy who was 26. So, you have to be a little older.” Under Calipari last season, Antonio Reeves and Tre Mitchell were the only two upperclassmen on Kentucky...

Before John Calipari even left Kentucky for Arkansas, sophomore Adou Thiero had already entered his name into the transfer portal and was expected to play under a new coach next season. But on Monday, Thiero announced on social media that he’ll instead follow Calipari and suit up for the Razorbacks in 2024-25. Thiero elected to stick with his head coach of the last two years, choosing Arkansas over a group of finalists that also included North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Indiana, and a return to Kentucky.

The cryptic but potentially hopeful messages for the Kentucky basketball program keep coming, hours after new coach Mark Pope dazzled the Big Blue Nation with a fiery and energetic introductory press conference. In the hours after the dust settled on Rupp Arena, which at times seemed closer to a rock concert than a press conference, something scrolled across social media that will catch the attention of just about every Kentucky fan. Adou Thiero, who entered the NCAA transfer portal on March 28, posted a simple photo to his Instagram story. It was a photo of the UK logo on the ceiling, presuma...
