Five-star guard Boogie Fland announced his commitment on Friday, picking John Calipari and Kentucky over Indiana.
Alabama was also on Fland's final list of three, but this became a Kentucky vs. Indiana battle over the past few weeks. The Hoosiers appeared to be in the driver's seat down the stretch, but Calipari and the Wildcats finished strong and won over Fland.
"He is a Hall of Fame coach who cares about his players," Fland said."When he gave his Hall of Fame speech, his former players and coaches were up on the stage with him. He only wants the best for you. Off the court, he is a funny guy. He has a lot of jokes, and they are spot on.A 6-foot-3 guard, Fland is the No. 2 point guard in the 2024 class, ranking No. 18 overall in the ESPN 100 for 2024. In 22 games this past spring and summer with the PSA Cardinals, Fland averaged 14.
When watching Fland, his extra gear of speed is evident. His burst and handle help him put extreme pressure on the defense in transition. In a half-court set, once Fland has made up his mind, he is one of the best in the class at getting a piece of the paint to either score or be a willing passer and spray it out to open teammates. In ball screens, he locates the coverage and reads the help. He displays control, vision and IQ coming off the ball screen to manipulate a defense.
