Michigan basketball lost Hunter Dickinson, officially, on Thursday after he announced he would attend Kansas for the upcoming basketball season. There was doubt the 7-footer would return to the Wolverines after entering the transfer portal, but Michigan fans were holding out hope Dickinson would change his mind after Juwan Howard brought in a solid transfer class to Ann Arbor.
While there was somber news on the Michigan front on Thursday, there was also positive news in terms of the 2024 recruiting class.
According to 247Sports’ Dushawn London, five-star combo guard Boogie Fland was on campus to take a visit with the Michigan basketball squad.

The 6-foot-3 guard hails from White Plains (New York) Archbishop Stepinac and is the sixth-ranked prospect in the class of 2024 according to the 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 2 combo guard and the second-ranked prospect in the state.
Michigan currently has one prospect committed to it for the 2024 class: four-star guard Christian Anderson.
With the losses of Kobe Bufkin, Jett Howard, and Hunter Dickinson, the Wolverines need to replenish the cupboard for future success. Landing a prospect of Fland’s caliber would go a long way.
