FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas men's basketball team is in the full swing of transfer season.
The transfer portal for men's and women's basketball opened March 18, and since then the Razorbacks have been busy. As of May 6, Arkansas has seven scholarship spots open.
We'll update this page as more news comes.
INCOMING TRANSFERS
Forward Adou Thiero
Thiero is following new coach John Calipari from Kentucky. He is regarded as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and has a strong defensive game and a high ceiling. The 6-8 Thiero grew throughout his Wildcats career and may continue to do so. He averaged 7.2 points and 5 rebounds this season.
Guard Johnell Davis
Davis was one of the most coveted players in the portal before committing to the Razorbacks out of Florida Atlantic. Having led the Owls to the Final Four and their first consecutive NCAA Tournament berths, he was a hot commodity. He averaged 18.2 points and 6.3 rebounds this season.
Forward Jonas Aidoo
Aidoo had steadily improved throughout his Tennessee career before hitting the portal and joining Arkansas. He was among the SEC's dominant big men last season, averaging 11.4 points and 7.3 rebounds. Should that growth continue, the Razorbacks got one of the best bigs on the market in the 6-11 Aidoo.
Forward Zvonimir Ivisic
Ivisic was Calipari's first commitment after trading Lexington for Fayetteville and brings loads of potential with him. The 7-2 Croatian can operate as a 4 or 5 and has a modern skillset that is highly valued in the current landscape of college basketball. He can step out and hit threes, drive to the basket and protect the rim on the opposite end.

He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Forward Denijay Harris
Denijay Harris enters the portal likely needing a waiver to be eligible for a final season. He appeared in 11 games for the Razorbacks and started one. He averaged 0.6 points and 0.8 rebounds. He transferred to Arkansas from Southern Miss.

Guard Khalif Battle
Battle had an up-and-down season with Arkansas before becoming the primary scoring option late in the season.

Battle entered the portal shortly after coach Eric Musselman was announced as the new head man at USC.
He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Guard Tramon Mark
Mark was arguably Arkansas' most consistent player this season. He averaged 16.2 points and 4.2 rebounds while being the Razorbacks' go-to option throughout the large part of the season. Battle took on a larger part of that role later in the season. He joined the Razorbacks from Houston.
He has two years of eligibility remaining.

Guard Cade Arbogast
Arbogast, a walk-on, appeared in six games this season and entered the portal following Musselman's move to USC. He scored three points in his Razorbacks career.
He has one season of eligibility remaining.
New school:Uncommitted as of May 6
Forward Trevon Brazile
Brazile missed seven games in SEC play due to knee soreness, though it is unclear if it was in the same knee in which he tore his ACL last season. He entered the NBA Draft with the reported intention of forgoing his remaining eligibility, but he entered the portal on May 1. Brazile averaged 8.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this season.
He has three years of eligibility remaining.
New school:Uncommitted as of May 6
PLAYERS VISITING ARKANSAS
Forward Josh Cohen, UMass
Cohen is a do-it-all forward who had a late growth spurt, which meant he was more of a wing coming out of high school. He's not the most athletic player in the portal but his offensive work rate makes up for some of that while also being a capable defender. He started his career at St. Francis, where he was NEC Player of the Year, before becoming an All-A10 performer at UMass.
He's visiting Arkansas the week of March 25, as well as Notre Dame, Xavier and Penn State, in that order.
Commitment status: Committed to Arkansas on March 29, reopened his recruitment and committed to USC on April 4
