BREAKING: Arkansas John Calipari Dealt Unfortunate Transfer Portal News.

Arkansas center has entered the transfer portal, according to Joe Tipton of On3 Sports, marking the Razorbacks’ first major roster change of the offseason following their strong postseason performance. The 7-foot-2 sophomore, known as “Big Z,” averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and just over one block per game during the 2024–25 season. A former Kentucky transfer, has  provided Arkansas with size, skill, and shooting ability, playing a key role in the team’s late-season surge. Despite a challenging regular season, the Razorbacks hit their stride at the right time.

Under first-year head coach John Calipari, Arkansas advanced to the Sweet 16, reasserting itself as a national contender and easing early concerns about the program’s transition. The team finished with a 22-14 record. Originally from Croatia, Ivisic quickly became a fan favorite due to his unique blend of length and finesse.

His ability to stretch the floor and protect the rim added valuable versatility to Calipari’s system, and his departure leaves a notable gap in the Razorbacks’ frontcourt as they prepare for Year 2 under their new coach.

With his size, international experience, and proven production at the Power 6 level, Ivisic is expected to be one of the most sought-after big men in the transfer portal. As Arkansas looks to rebuild for another deep tournament push, his departure marks the beginning of what could be a busy offseason in Fayetteville.
