On Monday, the Arkansas Razorbacks announced that coach John Calipari retained Ronnie Brewer Jr. as the director of student-athlete development on his new staff for the upcoming season.
Brewer formerly served as an assistant coach on Eric Musselman’s staff.
He also worked as the recruiting coordinator.
Ronnie Brewer Jr. played three seasons with the Razorbacks, from 2003 to 2006, averaging 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.5 blocks.
Brewer Jr. was picked 14th overall in the 2006 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.
He played 10 seasons in the NBA before retiring.
In 2022, he was part of the recruiting team that helped Arkansas grab the No. 2 ranked recruiting class with Anthony Black, Nick Smith and Jordan Walsh.
Before joining the Razorbacks, John Calipari coached the Kentucky Wildcats from 2009–24.
In recent years, Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament runs have been stopped by lower-ranked teams led by graduate senior players.
It seems Calipari has finally come up with a plan to address this issue with the Razorbacks.
The current roster at Arkansas is a mix of John Calipari’s former players like DJ Wagner, Adou Thiero and Zvonimir Ivisic, along with transfer portal additions like Johnell Davis and Jonas Aidoo.
Calipari’s previously committed players to Kentucky flipped their decisions and have followed him to Fayetteville.
This includes Boogie Fland, Karter Knox and Billy Richmond.
