The last few weeks have been full of speculation surrounding what Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari would do with his final roster spot.
While the Head Hog still appears committed to a tight rotation of regular players, the expectation was that he would fill that final spot with a reserve player of some sort, likely in the vain of shooting guard Jaden Karuletwa. Coach Cal referred to these players as new-age “walk-ons” last season, on scholarship but unlikely to see the floor save for garbage time against mid-major opponents.
There was a lot of talk about Calipari potentially adding another international prospect into the fold for that 15th spot.
