McDonalds All-American, and four star combo guard Boogie Fland was committed to Kentucky originally. However, he opened his recruitment when former Wildcats coach John Calipari took the Arkansas job. Now he has decided to follow Coach Cal and has committed to the Razorbacks.
The 6-foot-2 guard from White Plains (NY) Archbishop Stepinac HS ranked number 26 overall by 247Sports.com and is the sixth ranked guard in the 2024 recruiting class.
Fland is the third player to follow Calipari to Fayetteville, joining transfer center Zvonmir Ivisic and fellow McDonald’s All American Karter Knox, a forward.
Fland averaged 14.1 points and 2.6 assists last spring and summer on the Nike EYBL circuit with the PSA Cardinals. He also won a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U17 World Championships in 2022.
The new Razorback also had 17 points and three assists in the McDonald’s All American Game earlier this month.

New Kentucky coach Mark Pope would love to have kept Fland, but they’ll continue to look to the transfer portal to fill the 2024-25 roster.
