Calipari Encroaching on Mark Pope’s Turf in More Ways Than One + Other Recruiting Nuggets

Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari joined a number of high-major coaches courtside at elite prep hoops events over the weekend in an effort to build on the Hogs’ 2026 recruiting class.

Calipari of course paid a visit to Little Rock wing JJ Andrews, Arkansas’ lone committed prospect at this point. Rated as a five-star by ESPN and the No. 12 prospect in the country according to 247Sports, Andrews put on an impressive display for Brad Beal Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit in North Augusta, S.C.

At the Adidas 3SSB circuit in Rock Hill, SC, Coach Cal also took a look at a five-star guard who has become one of Arkansas’ top targets in the 2026 class.
