The college basketball world was shocked in April when John Calipari was announced as the next Arkansas basketball coach, accompanied by an NIL package the likes of which the game has never seen.
Nearly six months, three five-star signees and several top transfer portal players later, Coach Cal has the Hogs locked and loaded for the upcoming season.
Yes, we’re getting to that point where soon the color of the leaves will fade and it will be “basketball time at the palace” again. The passing of the seasons always brings in thoughts on the transience of time, so some Arkansas basketball fans can’t help but wonder if the thrill of Calipari’s arrival in Fayetteville will fade the same over the next few years.
